Robert Combas (born in 1957) Abel and Cain. We don’t know exactly how one killed the other. I chose a stone—a big boulder, as we say back home. It’s a choice. Simple and feasible, but the killer could have done it differently. A club, a knife—anything was possible within the limits of what was available. In any case, there was a murderer, and he got away with it, more or less. circa 1993 Acrylic on canvas, signed lower right, 138 x 138 cm The authenticity of this work has been confirmed by the Robert Combas archives. Condition Report: Pushpin holes at the corners; not mounted on a stretcher Robert Combas is a major figure in contemporary art and one of the founding members of the Figuration Libre movement, which emerged in the 1980s. In contrast to the austerity of Minimal Art and Conceptual Art of the 1970s, the artists of this movement favored figurative, colorful, graphic works that drew on folk art.
