拍品专文

‘The act of painting is performed in order that poetry appears and not in order to reduce the world to a variety of its material aspects.
Poetry does not forget the mystery of the world: it is not just a means of evasion nor food for the imagination, it is presence of mind.’
(R. Magritte in Rhétorique, June 1963).
