<p>Germaine Richier made these individual prints at the height of her career as a sculptor in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Like her sculptures, they reflect the same preoccupations with animals and plants, but also hybrid creatures, seen in <i>The Hydra</i>. Subject to careful scrutiny and recording, they suggest a world below the surface of normal experience, that is fascinating and sometimes sinister.</p><p><em>Gallery label, March 2007</em></p>
