Labisse is recognised as a successful French Surrealist painter in the 20th century. His work generally encompasses themes of the fantastical and erotic. In particular Labisse is known for his block coloured bodies and contributed to greatly to set design of the era. This element of his career has undoubtedly influenced his treatment of the body in space. As can be seen from this canvas. DM 105cm H x 90cm W x 4cm D
