Lot Essay

Cette oeuvre est enregistrée dans les archives de Robert Combas.
« Ainsi depuis qu’il peint, Robert Combas n’a cessé de nous dire que nous n’avons pas d’autre temps que le notre, et qu’il est temps de le vivre urgemment. C’est pourquoi Robert Combas a écrit ‘ma peinture c’est du Rock.’ »
“Ever since he started painting, Combas has never ceased to tell us that we have no other time but our own, and that it is urgent that we make the most of it. That is why he wrote: ‘My painting is rock music’.”
