Ou bien... ou bien (Grand appareil exhausteur de formes), 1961-1962
Résine de polyester teintée dans la masse
Don de Thomas Brown, 2024
EC2024-2-CMD5
Avec cette sculpture, sans équivalent dans la production de son temps, Brown semble anticiper
les monstres de science-fiction du cinéma hollywoodien années 1990.

Ce quadripode affectant une allure vaguement anthropomorphe au genre ambigu, tient autant
de l'architecture que de la peinture et de la sculpture. Le titre de cette sculpture, dont les excroissances effilées semblent se lancer dans l'exploration de l'espace environnant, est inspiré par un ouvrage
du philosophe danois Seren Kierkegaard. Définitivement adopté par l'artiste en 1955, le polyester stratifié, matériau plus ou moins translucide, permet des effets chromatiques inédits.
This was a sculpture that resembled no other at the time, Brown seemed to prefigure the monsters from science fiction movies from 1990s Hollywood.
This quadruped affecting a vaguely anthropomorphic allure of ambiguous gender, owes as much to architecture as to painting and sculpture, with its flaky outgrowths that seemingly venture out to explore their surroundings.
The title of this sculpture was inspired by a work by Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard. The artist used laminated polyester, a staple feature in his work as from 1955. This somewhat translucent material, afforded radically new chromatic effects.
