Arras, Lausanne, Béthune, 1988 - Florence, 1989, Philippe Sers Editeur, Paris: 1988, plate 169, cat. 157, reproduced p. 177 and described p. 212 "Ancient Egypt plays an important role in the life and work of Augustin Lesage, who was introduced to its myths during his time in Spiritist circles. Indeed, this ancient civilization enjoys a fascination among many currents of thought, who see the Egyptians as the holders of a level of spiritual initiation and knowledge lost forever. This influence had a powerful impact on the artist's production. As early as 1925, Egypt began to appear in the works of the painter-miner, who gave it an increasingly important place as he became more involved in spiritualist circles. Like the representational conventions of the ancient Egyptians, Lesage's painting is marked by the use of symmetry and the organization of registers, which appear in his very first canvas. He also shares with Egyptian art a taste for monumentality and attention to detail. [...] Augustin Lesage saw himself as the reincarnation of an Egyptian artist, delivering the secrets of ancient Egypt through painting. From 1930 onwards, the artist literally quotes Egyptian objects in his work, occupying almost the entire canvas." Cédric Magniez "Augustin Lesage et l'Égypte" in. Lesage, Simon, Crépin, peintres, spirites et guérisseurs, cat. exp. LaM, October 4, 2019-January 5, 2020, Villeneuve d'Ascq: 2019, p. 176.
