The man with the rooster
The years from 1928 to 1940 mark the mature period of Anto-Carte’s work, as evidenced by *The Man with the Rooster* (1934). The sober, almost monochrome form of the man in the foreground is accentuated by a single splash of colour: the red of the rooster’s crest. The ochre-coloured, weathered face, with its pensive gaze, commands attention. The composition is rigorous. Carte ceaselessly explores the human condition and destiny; the human figure occupies a central place in his paintings. In his works, Anto-Carte imbues his peasants with an almost biblical presence.
