Specialist note
"Et aujourd'hui, si je vis à la croisée de l'image et de la peinture dont je rêve: être elle-même, c'est parce que je sens bien comme par exemple chez Magritte qu'il faut être peintre pour faire des images et que les images font faire la peinture, mais que c'est un secret."
"And today, if I live at the crossing of the image and of the painting of which I dream: to be oneself, it's because I well understand that for example with Magritte it is necessary to be a painter to make images and that the images make the painting, but that it's a secret."
(Eugène Leroy cité in C. Juliet, Eugène Leroy, Grands nus, couleurs, papiers 1979-1985, Paris, 2003, p. 46).
