Catalogue Note
Piet Mondrian, Composition A, 1920, Rome, Galerie nationale d'Art moderne © Galerie nationale d'Art moderne
« Restons immobiles : un carré impeccable se dessine, superposé sur un carré plus grand – le panneau du fond. Tout ici respire le calme, l'harmonie, l'équilibre. C'est la sérénité d'un Mondrian. [...] Bougeons un peu : voici que s'animent ces géométries régulières et que commence – discrète, ténue, toute nourrie d'élégance – une petite agitation, une sorte d'incertitude, comme un doute sur la compacité du réel, sur l'ordre immuable des choses. » (Jean Clay, Jesús Rafael Soto, in Visages de l'art moderne, Lausanne, 1969, p.302)
