Post Mortem speaks of Pierre Jahan at his most surrealist : on a desert background a skelletal bird, seemingly giant, walks. Created in 1950, this work bears the remarkable stamp of Max Ernst's bird monsters from just a decade ago.
Pierre Jahan, who was a painter himself, took one of his own paintings as the background, photographed it, and then obtained the final work through a masterful use of montage.
