THE ARTWORK
In Le repas du magicien, José Luis Cuevas places a dark-hatted figure beside a table and small enigmatic presences. The yellow background unifies the scene, crossed by dense, nervous black marks.
The lithograph alternates minute details and more compact masses, giving the meal an unusual dimension. The eye can follow objects or dwell on the character, observing how a domestic scene becomes an open, restless narrative.
