"A minor figure in the cubist art circle. Roger de La Fresnaye made many paintings of men in
bed. I encounter the image from the exhibition Robert Gober curated in the Menil collection.
The monstrous hand, the static pose, immobilized vulnerability; static venerability: bed;
what a special place for the industrialized men, stay longer.
What’s to note is the crease of the silk and that the work is a painting and not a drawing,
with painted drawn lines. Perhaps they are also the dialectical indulgence I’m facing in
making this painting." Leah Ke Yi Zheng
