Note du spécialiste

'Pierre Alechinsky leans over the painting on the studio floor, his long Japanese brush poised in his left hand. Suddenly his meditative stance is broken by a rapid act of painting. A copious flow of pigment spreads over his paper - it knows with certainty where it is going. Alechinsky pauses. And once again channels his impulses in a sequence of strokes that spawn bold arabesques and fantastic creatures. There is seemingly no end to his improvisation'
(A. Arkus, Pierre Alechinsky: Paintings and Writings, Museum of Art Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh,1987, p.7)
