“Les froids calculs de la raison n’ont pas présidé à cette éclosion située au moment où des sentiments extrêmes sont en fusion au plus profond de l’être, au moment où ils éclatent, et que toute la pensée sort comme la lave d’un volcan, mais qui sait quand au fond de l’être l’oeuvre a été commencée? Inconsciente, peut-être.”(3)

THE INTERIOR VOICE: The cold calculations of reason have not presided at this birth situated at the very moment when the most intense emotions fuse in the depths of one’s being, at the moment when they burst forth and all thought erupts like lava from a volcano, but who knows when, in the depth of the artist’s soul the work was begun? Unconsciously perhaps.
