Catalogue Note

A work from the artist's mature period, Autres Signaux refutes the "twilight lament" so often associated with later works in an artist's oeuvre. Guy Robert maintains that despite his age, "Bellefleur remains an incorruptible child discovering the world on the doorstep of his studio, every time picking up his colours as if it were his first time!"
