Bacchanale au hibou



This piece is called, "Bacchanale au hibou" - meaning "Bacchanale with Owl." I thought the idea of linoleum cuts were really cool, especially this one because there are so many intricate cuts involved. These cuts make the piece dynamic and keeps your eye moving. This adds to the idea of depicting a bacchanal. It's also kind of funny that he added an owl to this picture. Usually owls are seen as a contemplative animals and I would like to know why he added it in this scene.
