      On the visceral border; landscape

      The pieces that the MUSA holds belong to a stage in which Birks worked under the echoes of German romanticism. The painting shows the ghostly figure of a man carrying a suitcase, within the scene of a mountainous landscape. Two large heads can be seen against the light, while a river divides up the space. It could be a self-referential quote regarding the crossing of the Rio Grande and its arrival to Mexican lands.The artist plays with certain nostalgic humor by suggesting with the title that someone is in a conflict: on a visceral border, to later deny the emotional suggestion through two grammatical points that clarify that it is only a landscape.
