‘Speak to the Children of Israel, and they shall take to you a completely red cow, which is without blemish, and upon which a yoke has not come.’  Numbers 19:2

 

‘In Paris, I thought I had found everything, particularly the skills of the craft.

I saw proof of it everywhere, in the museums and in the exhibitions….

I had the feeling we are still only skimming over the surface of matter, that we are afraid of plunging into chaos, of breaking up the familiar ground under our feet and turning it over....

The very first day after my arrival, I went to the Salon des Independants….I made my way to the very heart of the French painting of 1910.

I attached myself to it.’
