This work is hallmarked with autobiographical tones. In a way, one could say that Lacasse had several births. His first awareness of the glistening minerals in the bedrock, fired his imagination a a boy in his naive Belgium. During the 1920s He became an artist in Paris, in a studio next to Brancusi who became his friend. His friends Sonia and Robert admired his researches. He married into a bourgeois family. And then came the War... Lacasse left of England to serve General de Gaulle. Upon his return from the war he was hit by the trauma of the annihilation of his art in favor of Poliakoff. During those years 1946-1948 Lacasse went onto a yet another metaphypiscal journey of rebirth. In this work, the strong Lacasse consolidates a lot of power into a few strokes of carcoal, forming an archetypal image of Creation.
