Ink on paper. Signed and dated lower right, where the title is also present. (The Stone Future). Lower left, the autograph dedication "A mon ami Osvaldo". This is a drawing by the artist who was one of the most important exponents of world surrealism, a poet and painter, but also a filmmaker, art and film critic, photographer and humorous illustrator. Since the end of the Sixties, Henry had settled permanently in Milan and had abandoned his activity as a humorous illustrator to devote himself almost exclusively to painting. However, he did not stop producing many drawings dedicated to friends and acquaintances, mainly in ink on paper, of a satirical/humorous nature. This drawing belongs to this production, which reveals the sure, linear and clean touch of Maurice Henry, and his satirical, albeit pessimistic, vision of a world that is evolving towards aridity. The work is presented in a visible frame.
