Most artists have, at one time or another, depicted the motif of the hand, a symbol
absolute of creation. Many also consider the hand as a
subject in its own right is a recurring theme. This observation inspired Cécile
Poimboeuf-Koizumi — editor and founder of Chose Commune — to bring together the
works that caught his eye, without following any thematic or
chronological. The selection was made in collaboration
with Stephen Ellcock, who has become known in recent years for his performance
the art gallery accessible to the general public with its fabulous collection
of images that he shares every day on Instagram and Facebook. By Pablo
Picasso to Helena Almeida, from Louise Bourgeois to Alberto Giacometti, from John
Baldessari to Francesca Woodman, passing through a multitude of treasures of
Antiquity and documents of popular imagery, Jeux de mains confronts and
mix of famous, emerging and anonymous artists with the most modern artistic practices
more diverse. The result is a collection of over a hundred images, compiled from
intuitive way in this book which is now in your hands. \n \nNote:
