Specialist note
“Il est grand comme tous les Césars, le front trop haut, ses épaules de ruthène, son application, sa science de débater, le ton de qui vient de loin, la face lumineuse et comme enchantée, l’air un peu d’un ange qui s’esclaffe, l’oeil tous azimuts qui départage souverainement l’ombre et la lumière, je ne sais quelle mathématique du fond des choses, et par-dessus tout le coeur”.
“He is tall like all the Caesars, a forehead too high, the gladiator shoulders, his diligence, his art of debate, the voice of someone who comes from afar, the luminous face as if enchanted, looking a bit of a laughing angel, the sharp eye that splits supremely shadow and light, I do not know what is the mathematic background, and above all the heart”.
Joseph Delteil à propos de Pierre Soulages, 1975
