- Curator's comments
- One of a group of drawings that Bertalan made between 1981 and 1987 following a move from Timişoara, Romania, where he had been a university professor, to the smaller city of Sibiu. Bertalan had become very interested in organic forms and the systems and patterns within nature, and was inspired by a series of dreams (which he called apparitions) to make emotionally charged drawings of plants, in which he sometimes incorporated elements of his own body.
