Visitors' book

In April, 1978 the light blue, calmed sky, appears behind the clothed bodies.
The entitled painting
"L'éveil du printemps"( "The spring's awakening" ) (51x134 in.)
shows a feminine main shape which spreads its arms
and streches its wings on the other side as the cicada is exiting the ground.
Colours are pastel, pink, mauve, and symbolise the hope of the new lease of life.

The following painting (H 78.8.9.10) is made by three canvases stretcher
(51x105 in.).
The central figure, obviouly feminine,
is surrounded with two male figures which look at it.
Colours are soft, pearly.
It is named " Desdémone et les Prétendants"("Desdemona and the Pretenders"),
a compliment
to the unfortunate fiancée of the More of Venice
and to the virtuous wife of Ulysses, the Mediterranean Sea persevering traveler.

The series of "Drapé" which had begun very dramatically, with crucified forms
and tortured self-portraits ( see paintings and drawings of 1977)
comes to an end in this painting.

"Le sommeil ou alors..."-89x146cm-H7713 et "La résurrection"-146x194cm-H7712 appuyées contre un mur de pierres sèches.

"Plis du visage"-73x54cm- H7717 posée dans les herbes.

Soon the sky will occupy all the space.
