Quotation
It is true that I never worked in order to obtain a Grand Prix with biennial of unspecified Venice, but well rather to deserve ten years of prison and it is what appears to me most interesting (quoted by the museum of Picardy)I always was against the imposture of the religions. Is this by painting the Cathédrale of Amiens which I became aware of all this variety? in Clovis Jitter , Raymond Charmet and Clovis Jitter, ED. Filipacchi, 1972
