Catalogue Note

QUOTE

En peinture il faut que tout soit juste : les lignes, les courbes, les formes, les angles, les couleurs, les valeurs pour former une image qui puisse durer, qui frappe l'attention, qui soit l'expression définitive d'un phénomène, d'une émotion. In painting, everything needs to be exact: the lines, the curves, the shapes, the angles, the colours, the values necessary to forming an image which can last, which can strike the attention, which can be the definitive expression of a phenomenon, of an emotion.
Hans Hartung
