Catalogue Note
"Why do I paint? Unquestionably I do it simply for the great pleasure it affords me and without any consideration for the eventual fate of my paintings... When I paint them, and then later when I look at them on my walls, I discover all the works and phenomena of every order of nature, of the life of man and of all life; the mechanisms of matter and the mechanisms of the mind." - Jean Dubuffet
