Artwork description:
Vehicles squeeze through the Avenue du Château, with the Château de Vincennes at one end and the Alban Muller cosmetics factory at the other. Half way down, the avenue crosses the Rue du Midi, and trains of the Paris RER roll along in a tunnel beneath. In the poem 'La Prison' Albert Vigny describes the last days of the 'Man in the Iron Mask' here in Vincennes. Following the 'July Revolution' in 1830 the ministers of Charles X were incarcerated in the fortress. In 1917 French military commanders attempted to put responsibility for their failures in World War One onto an exotic dancer with the stage name of Mata Hari, with the incredible proposal that she was the real cause of “the deaths of at least 50,000 soldiers” and had her executed by firing squad here.
This is an original relief print pulled from an engraving cut in rubber. The edition is 10 prints only. Please feel free to contact me to put a question or make a remark.
Materials used:
