"Le désir du peintre, qui l'a conduit à ce tableau, et le désir du regardeur qui l'y conduit à son tour, se nouent alors dans cette transparence et cette opacité, dans ce plein de la lumière et de la nuit que l'oeuvre consacre."
(Bernard Ceysson, 'Pierre Soulages', in Soulages, Peintures 1999-2000, catalogue d'exposition Galerie Alice Pauli, Lausanne, 2000, p.7)
