Lucas on Constant
What appeals most to Lucas de Man about Constant’s work, is his dreams of and for a different world. Constant thought of how things could be different and visualized that. This is one of the strengths of art, visualizing other possibilities. A power that we can put to good use now more than ever.
Academic background
