Note du spécialiste

"Drawing is the Most Direct, closest to the true self, the most natural liberation of man-and if I may guess, back to the action of very early man, it may have been the very first celebration of man with his secret self--even before song."
(David Smith as quoted in A. Kirili, David Smith: Between Eros and Thanatos, Valencia, 2004, p. 122).
