Catalogue Note

“When I first became acquainted with [Derain] he had developed an absorbing hobby. Sitting at the bar with me one day, he asked me to step outside to see something. At the curb, stood a long racing car, pale blue in colour … it looked like a custom-built job for him alone. … More beautiful than any work of art, he commented. I agreed with him but thought that without the sale of his paintings he would not have been able to afford such a monster. (Self Portrait, 1988, p. 174)(Autoportrait, 1964, p. 199)
