Catalogue Note
Art addresses itself to the mind, not to the eyes. Too many people think that art addresses itself to the eyes. That is to make of it poor use.
Similarly, the most simple and common spectacles appeal to me the most....I am a tourist of a very special kind: what is picturesque disturbs me. It is where the picturesque is absent that I am in a state of constant amazement. - Jean Dubuffet, 1967.
