" ... En 1961, pour la première fois depuis sept ans, le peintre fait un long séjour dans la capitale. Emerveillé, il ne sait où donner de la tête. Dans son esprit c'est la fête. Les magasins, les trottoirs, les automobiles, les façades, les vitrines se bousculent entre lui et la toile. La grande représentation du Paris Circus commence. ..."
