Catalogue Note

signed ' Music' and dated '70' lower right;  titled 'Nous ne sommes pas les derniers' lower left

" J'expliquais alors à mes clients que cet artiste allait être apprécié lentement mais que son œuvre durerait plus longtemps que bien d'autres [...]

Pour moi, ces tableaux «Nous ne sommes pas les derniers» sont parmi les plus importants du XXe siècle; par eux il est possible de comprendre ces actes monstrueux, car comme chez Goya, chaque œuvre explique l'incroyable».
