Regular price

Sale
The drawing and collages are extracted details of Hippolyte Moulin’s marble Secret d’en haut (A Secret From on High,1879, Musée d'Orsay), in which a young Mercury whispers something ribald in the ear of a herm (a bust of Hermes atop a pillar). Hermes, being the Greek god from whom the Romans fashioned Mercury, reveals Secret d’en Haut to be a depiction of the young newer god, and his ancient effigy, locking their secret into a perpetual loop.
