Catalogue Note
"In this case the retort is inclined purely in a spirit of enjoyment; The mold produced by the contents is quite adventitious, but carried out with all the deliberation of a preconceived design. It acquires courage from its sudden change of function: built to reject it becomes an instrument of acceptance".
