Catalogue Note
« Affrontements de formes, départs de courses, mises en évidence de ressorts, grillages dénoués, circulations contraires résolues en faisceaux, croix sombres sur des clartés, croisements clairs sur des ombres, dialogues d'une courbe et d'un point, d'une épaisseur et d'une finesse, joie ascendante de traits divergents, effacement d'on ne sait quoi par des traits qui superposent leur dynamisme sur une présence à oublier, succession d'atterrissages et de décollages. Tout circule. » (Pierre Descargues, Hartung, Paris, 1977, p.77)
