Degas, Renoir e o relógio de Orfeu (The Orpheus Clock: The Search for My Family's Art Treasures Dtolen by the Nazis)

Leonardo Iaccarino, São Paulo, Brazil, 2017

Description

At first glance, the cover shows the emptiness behind the frames, which represent the stolen works of art and behaves as a field for the textual information of the cover.

In a second look, the black background wall reveals a swastika through its counterform, at the same time hidden and present in the cover, conceptualizing the role of Nazism in this history.
