A remarkable image between archaic myth and modernity. Throughout his life, Antes painted his famous “Kopffüßler” (head-footers), which are curiously reminiscent of pre-Columbian paintings or the small Native American sculptures from Arizona and New Mexico which the artist collected. In this picture, a standing figure faces a seated deity surrounded by other small figures. Symbolic things—a snake, a floating spoon, a falling seed, and two circles—reinforce the mythical dimension of the dark painting, illuminated by only a few color accents, which was donated to the museum—thanks to the mediation of the Friends—by a private patron in 1986.
