| Certain
paintings of the series CPPE presented a more or less representational zone
and another monochrome zone where some sand - or some sawdust - was
mixed with paint. It was systematized in the series CVS. The origin is the square
of 13 x 13 in. (vegetation) above of which is placed a half-square of sky
and below of which is another half-square of ground. The painting
CVS is so a double square of 26 x 13 in. C
for "ciel" or "sky",
V for
"végétal" or "vegetation"
and S for "sol"
or "soil" The
three parts are separated by a wooden painted stick : so the painting is a window
on the wall. This
initial size was declined. The CPPE having the possibility of revolving,
it is the diagonal of the basic square that gave the side of the superior
size (93 x 46 cm) named " CVS1M ". Then 132 x 66 cm (CVS2M), then 186 x 93
cm (CVS3M). Also the
smalls sizes : " CVS1D " measures 46 x 23 cm, " CVS2D "
measures 33 x 16,5 cm, " CVS3D " 23,5 x 11,7 cm and " CVS4D " 16,6
x 8,3 cm.
