Henri CUECO (1929-2017). Pack Dogs Climbing the Stairs, 1974. Drawing on bluish paper mounted on sheet signed and dated lower left. Height 50 cm - Width 65 cm Note: This is a recurring theme in Henri Cueco's work. For twenty-five years, he depicted two categories of dog: trained and wild, filling the entire pictorial space. Here, the trained animal, moving as one in a pack towards the same goal, becomes a political image that refers to the organization of society. Through his works, Henri Cueco invites us to join the pack, the better to detach ourselves or free ourselves from what society imposes on us to be or think. Provenance : - Private collection of a member of the collector's collective La Peau du Chat, then by descent.
