Library Shelf Location 18.BIGU
Publication Date 2002
Description 'The pictures speak of both a homecoming and a leave-taking. The public is able to witness both an artistic departure and a new path sought by the artist. To start with the latter, that is to say the leave-taking: throughout the 1990s Bigum consistently used one figure, a little cloaked man, ART - to personify the concept of art. These are his last pictures involving ART. The figure, with a scythe over his shoulder and with his large nose sticking out from under the monk´s hood, has served as our guide from one picture to another. Art has taken us through a universe of its own, either to offer us new experiences or to wield the scythe once more.' Taken from http://www.martinbigum.dk
