More information

Inspired by, among others, Fernand Léger, at the beginning of 1920s GAN executed some three-dimensional works using ”objets trouvés” and collage. ”Marin I” has elements of both cubism and surrealism, combined together very unexpectedly. This work shows how GAN synthesized external influences into his work while at the same time striving to develop his own artistic expression.
