De Bruyckere's malformed human and animal sculptures are paired alongside the Old Masters she cites as her inspiration
With its title taken from a work by Roberto Bolaño, Crossing a Bridge on Fire situates the jarring, quasi-realistic human and animal sculptures by Belgian artist Berlinde De Bruyckere (born 1964) amid paintings by Cranach, Zurbarán and her other Old Master inspirations.
