" Est classique ce qui devient intemporel. Mais comment le devient-on? Comment Poliakoff l'est-il devenu? Aujourd'hui la réponse semble évidente: il a bâti sa peinture sur le fondamental. Un principe soutient cette solennité que le tableau offre au regard. Or, qui dit principe dit vérité révélée.".
