Bernard Dufour's 'La figure du sexe de Cromagnon à moi' Published by Fata Morgana

Éditions Fata Morgana has published Bernard Dufour's 'La figure du sexe de Cromagnon à moi', a volume combining his drawings and commentary. The book traces the history of figuration through remakes of prehistoric drawings and works by Masaccio, Rembrandt, Schiele, Picasso, and his own. Dufour, aged 83, explores themes of sex and nihilism, drawing on his personal tragedies: the suicide of his first wife Anne and the death of his second wife Martine in 1995. The text references Georges Bataille and argues that Dufour's work resists oblivion and nihilism. A curator is reportedly planning a major exhibition of his work.
