Catalogue Note
Il n'y a là ni côté droit ni côté gauche
Point de sommet, aucune abîme
Tout y demeure enclos par tout ce qui le cerne
Et maintenu dans une ferme discipline.
Pourtant ce monde-ci, le tout immobile
Se meut, sensible à sa propre immobilité.
Serge Poliakoff in Serge Poliakoff, Musée National d'Art Moderne, Paris, 1970, p.21
