Julius Bissier
Fish, um 1939
About the object
Both the title and form refer to a popular motif in East Asian art. This is further underlined by his use of a stamp that would become a replacement for his handwritten signature from 1934 onwards and which also functions as a separate visual element. The stamp effectively translates Bissier's authorship into a sign and renders it anonymous.
