Mixed media installation, 1986, signed 'LeGac', titled, dated and inscribed 'toile peintre + tablette + valise + apparait de projection Dilmar 16mm et 8mm' on the reverse. Note: Influenced by the illustrated literature of his youth, French artist Jean LeGac combines painting, the written word and cinema/photography to create his own fiction. His work is often autobiographical and the artist himself is a recurring subject and theme in the stories he tells in his "narrative installations". Provenance: Sold Sotheby's, New York, June 12, 2014, Lot 140.
