'C'est cette extraordinaire faculté de l'éponge de s'imprègner de quoi que ce soit fluidique qui m'a séduit. Grâce aux éponges, matière sauvage vivante, j'allais pouvoir faire les portraits des lecteurs de mes monochromes, qui, après avoir vu, après avoir voyagé dans le bleu de mes tableaux en reviennent totalement imprègnés en sensibilité, comme des éponges.
'The sponge has that extraordinary capacity to absorb and become impregnated with whatever fluid, which was naturally very seductive to me. Thanks to the living nature of sponges, I was able to make portraits of the readers of my monochromes, which, after having seen and travelled into the blue of my paintings, returned from them completely impregnated with sensibility, just as the sponges.
