Condition
Condition: There are ondulations to the pink rhodoid, possibly due to the artist's process or to time. There are three small scratches to the lower part of the rhodoid and a few on the blue box. There is a scratch running along the right side of the box. Otherwise this work is in good condition.

"Je voulais exalter le monde moderne, l'optimisme et le soleil. Peindre la tristesse ne peut être que le jeu snob d'une inconscience maladive ! La mort est bien assez affreuse, suffisamment inquiétante... Disons que mes tableaux sont peut-être un exorcisme. Il faut chasser l'idée de mort, se rassurer. Par le travail, par la beauté...".
