Abstract
Description
This pencil drawing experiments with the new symbol of the circle which Bettie
developed in her work from 1966 onwards. It is not only a symbol of the self, but
also of wholeness. It points to the artist’s relationship with total reality. Here
the circular motif is juxtaposed onto an emblematic shield which again hints at
the African mystique.
