Piège bleu pour lignes [Blue Trap for Lines]

"Besides, it filled me with wonder because in front ofany painting, figurative or non‑figurative I felt more and more that the lines and all that results from its – the contours, the forms, the perspectives, the compositions – became exactly like prison bars. Far away, I felt amidst color, life, and freedom. In front of the painting I felt imprisoned."
