Abstract
Description
This painted Sphinx from Mars is a portrait
of Armide, a ballet character from Le
Pavillon d'Armide based on a story by
Pierre Jules Théophile Gautier (1811-
1872). Several years after painting this
artwork, Coetzee added the adjustable
Perspex plates to create A Sphinx from
Mars. This is part of a series combining
space and mythology including Anubis and
Betelgeuse Astronaut
