"Le pliage ne procédait de rien. Il fallait simplement se mettre dans l’état de ceux qui n’ont encore rien vu, se mettre dans la toile. On pouvait remplir la toile pliée sans savoir où était le bord. On ne sait plus alors où cela s’arrête. On pouvait même aller plus loin et peindre le yeux fermés." Simon Hantaï
This work will be included in the forthcoming Catalogue Raisonné of the artist currently being prepared by the Archives Simon Hantaï.
