Scope and Contents
The word on the cover, Christ, turns into Vishnu with a 90 degree turn of the leaflet. Vishnu is a Hindi deity descended from heaven to earth in several incarnations varying in number from 9 to 22, but always including animals. His most important reincarnation is the Krishna of the Bhagavad-Gita. This leaflet is a maquette (?) for an announcement of Houedard's LYC museum show. However, both the catalogue of this exhibition and its announcement card held by the Sackner Archive do not display this work. In a letter to Cinicolo, Houedard mentions problems with obtaining money to print the card.35064 -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
