Louis Marcussen (Ovartaci) (b. Ebeltoft 1894, d. Århus 1985)
“Josephine Baker”. Unsigned. A carved and painted wooden sculpture. H. 20 cm.
Exhibited: “Ovartaci”, august-september 2019. Baunhøj Mølle Grenaa, depicted p. 26 in the catalogue.
The sculpture was cut with a bread knife where the tip was broken off so that the knife would not be a dangerous weapon. This sculpture was made while Ovartaci was in the psychiatric ward in Dalstrup.
A few premature crackles.
