<DIV>Thanks, Gilles, for your report on exhibition! Very interesting.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I instantly started to google for Bertnard Lavier's Disney inspired
sculptures you mentioned. I found this:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>>Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>>Bertrand Lavier <BR>>WALT DISNEY PRODUCTIONS <BR>>1947-1995, n. 1
1995 <BR>>cellulose painting on<BR>>polyester resin</DIV>
<DIV><BR>>Bertrand Lavier: Walt Disney Productions,explores the tenuous realm
between high art and the everyday. Lavier’s series, Walt Disney </DIV>
<DIV>>Productions, was inspired by a 1947 Disney cartoon that reflects a
sophisticated play with the cliché of Modernism. The original cartoon, entitled,
</DIV>
<DIV>>"Very Abstract Lines," shows Minnie Mouse defending modern art to a
skeptical Mickey as they visit an art museum in which caricatures of </DIV>
<DIV>>Modernist painting and sculpture abound. Beginning in the mid-1980s,
Lavier usurped the artworks pictured in the cartoon, enlarging them and </DIV>
<DIV>>further manipulating them in the form of Cibachrome photographs
imprinted on aluminum, aquatints, black-and-white photographs, photogravures,
</DIV>
<DIV>>inkjet on canvas, and three-dimensional polyester sculptures,
continuing to find in this theme new and fascinating permutations. Removed from
the </DIV>
<DIV>>intentionally ironic atmosphere of the comic strip, these artworks
hover between formal elegance and out-of-whack surrealism.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You can see also small picture there: <A

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I wonder if there's some error, since I couldn't find any cartoons with
that title. Or were his sculptures actually derived from comic strip or
comic book story? Nevertheless, Inducks finds nothing with the given
title.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Can anybody recall any Mickey Mouse comics that goes with description
above?</DIV>
