Bellini #4
1988

A black and white collage featuring a central figure of a classical statue of a woman, surrounded by various images including mechanical parts, a flower, a figure with a scythe, and birds in cages. The composition is layered with different textures and forms, creating a surreal juxtaposition of elements from art, nature, and technology.
