Les Deux Soeurs Incestieuses: Hommage a Charles Baudelaire 1975
Artist Proof Etching
"The Two Incestuous Sisters: Homage to Charles Baudelaire "is a large etching by American artist Burt Stanly Hasen. The image refers to the French Symbolist poet Charle's Baudelaire and his poem "Les Femmes Damnee" (The Damned Women).
According one biographer, Burt Hasen’s work teeters between magical realism and surrealism. Thematically there is a fantastical element throughout his work. This is more mysterious and alluring than dark and menacing. His etchings are populated by figures in varying states of metamorphosis; transitioning from human to animal, singularities to pluralities, background to foreground, inanimate to animate.
his work is also included in many major collections among them the Smithsonian Institution, the Library of Congress, the National Academy of Design and the British Museum.
More information on Hasen is available online--look especially for his obit in the New York Times.
