Scherzo in Gold | Victor Delhez | 1948

A lecturer with a bird’s skull for a head raises one finger before a blackboard crowded with geometric constructions. Rows of animal skulls occupy the benches, and the branches outside the window end in yet more bony heads. Delhez describes this impossible classroom with extraordinary precision, building wood grain, fabric and shadow from networks of fine white lines. Part of his Dance of Death series, the engraving brings academic order into a disconcerting encounter with the universality of death.
