Marc Cavell

This untitled, (as were most of Cavell's works) 'sculpted painting' is a variation of one of his most famous creations produced a few years after Cavell had been presented as the leader of the kinetic artists at the Salon Comparaison in 1971, this work, with its shining and clear surface, derives its movement from its ability to play with light and shadow. A closely related work is illustrated, P. Rapin, L. Gnat-Bécart, trans. N.
