Lot Essay

“JAZZ. These images, with their lively and violent tones, derive from crystallizations of memeories of circuses, folktales, and voyages. I’ve written these pages to mollify the simultaneous effects of my chromatic and rhythmic improvisations; pages forming a kind of 'sonorous ground’ that supports them, enfolds them, and protects them, in their particularities.” – Matisse
