Les Équerres, was created by Germaine Richier to serve as a background for her unique pieces, made of cuttlefish bones, on which she could place them, move them from one to the other, and even place several pieces together. This will be the beginning of an idea of mobility that she will want to give to some of her works. (Text by Françoise Guiter).
