'...it is not by chance that this sculpture, which is almost an allegory of the condition of modern man confronted by reality, retains the harshness of the machine or the engine of the manufactured product. But it is a machine jammed by a sort of fatality, which has fused the bits, one to the another, welding them together, making a compact mass, barely interrupted by cracks, fractures, unexpected lacerations'.
G. C. Argan, Text with no title, n.p., in Consagra, exh. cat., Bruxelles, 1958.
