Catalogue Note

Ces compositions sont exécutées sans fond, comme des exercices de trapèze sans filet. Suspendues dans l'espace, elles évoquent les métamorphoses des différents règnes : minéral, végétal, animal (...) Camille Bryen fait pénétrer la magie dans le domaine de la peinture abstraite.
René Massat, préface de l'exposition Bryen à la Galerie du Luxembourg, 1947.
