Specialist note

‘I believe a great confusion arises from that excessive desire of the artist to explain the unexplainable things which appear in his paintings or sculptures. Few are the artists who dare confess their ignorance looking at their own work’ (Manolo Millares in exh. cat., Manolo Millares: Recent Paintings, New York, Pierre Matisse Gallery, April-May 1960.)
