Fidèle Kabre
Fidèle G Kabré's paintings thus raise the question of the importance of the hands in human life, following the example of Paul Valery who already in 1922 thought that "the in-depth study of the human hand (articulated system, forces, contacts, etc.) is a thousand times more interesting than that of the brain". Looking closely at the artist's works, one might even think that with the apparent autonomy of the hands as opposed to the rest of the body, they have an "external brain", as Kant claimed.
