There’s more to this portrait of Movement
founder Henry Dunant than first meets the eye. The
creation of French artist Franck Bouroullec, the portrait
was painted in a matter or minutes before more than
1,000 delegates to the 18th General Assembly as part
of the opening ceremony. In a truly head-turning performance,
Bouroullec worked furiously, splashing white paint
on the black canvas until, at the last minute, he inverted
the image to reveal this portrait of Dunant. |
