« Un tableau n'est plus une construction de couleurs et de traits, mais un animal, une nuit, un cri, un être humain. Il forme un tout indivisible ». - Karel Appel

''A painting is no longer a construction of colours and lines, but an animal, a night, a cry, a human being. It forms an indivisible whole'' - Karel Appel
