For his is also a form of committed art; he defended women’s right to abortion, the rights of immigrants, and reinscribed the dead bodies of Les Communards on the stairs of Montmartre. He also "intervened" in Soweto and in Algiers. Cities thus double as necessary backgrounds to the prints. But first and foremost his art is fascinating and his technique absolutely perfect. |
