"I have always been lured by the hidden geography,

by unique subject matter,also by shadows,sadness,

premonitions,muffled steps,the suffering that crouches

under doorways,smells both waiting and awaiting,

on one paw,ghosts passing,the reminiscences of old

windows,scents,sudden movement,reflections,and the ashes of memory."

-Leon-Paul Fargue,1939
