Lot Essay

'The element of surprise in the creation of a work of art is, to me, the most important factor ... The painting develops before my eyes, unfolding its surprises as it progresses. It is this which gives me the sense of complete liberty, and for this reason I am incapable of forming a plan or making a sketch beforehand.'
(Y. Tanguy, ‘The Creative Process’, in Art Digest, vol. 28, no. 8, 1954, p. 14)
