His images of the figure, as much Egyptian as modern, with their ravaged bronze surfaces and their august sense of withdrawal from touch, are well represented here.

But metaphors of violence enabled certain painters of the figure to do some remarkable work, whose results would continue to be recycled by others into the '80s.
