Beaucoup d'idées mais pas de Petrole [A lot of ideas but no oil]
Mail Art. On a marbled background, perhaps a sunset, Musa draws and pastes a satirical landscape of oil rigs with the august French culture minister Andre Malraux and an oil sheikh; both men are wearing black gowns, a further touch of irony that relates to the title.
