Collection particulière, Paris

This Descent from the Cross is inspired by a subject from an ancient Western iconographic tradition, where the gilding reflects the influence of Art Deco on Aymé’s work. The choice of this religious theme also echoes the Nabis through its symbolism. We can recognise the fine line typical of the artist, who focuses the attention on the faces and interlaced hands in this highly modern composition. The rich detail and multiple inspirations make this work a meeting point between two cultures.
