Catalogue Note
"The space in depth is built by sudden syncopated interruptions, broken and vibrating lines which change people and things (men, trees, boats, land, sea, etc.) into the same pictorial material. The stylistic coherence compels everything to vibrate with the same energy be it the hard matter of the rocks, or the water, or even the air."
