History

Louis Aragon refers to this lithograph in “Pierre sur pierre”, in Simon Watson Taylor’s translation:

Of the ten scenes registered during the year 1970, none of which can be assigned a particular order of priority, the apparition that would stand out most clearly for me, from among this mechanical ballet, is the white rhinoceros at the base of what seems a relatively simple construction, until one is halted by the grid that provides a window or a prison between an arrow near the bottom left-hand corner and the escape upwards of a black form in a grey mask accompanied by a broken cube.
