Specialist note

`In 1959 my graphic art became tri-dimensional. I introduced the TORSIONS. 
I had achieved my goal: 
uniformity of colour 
uniformity of structure 
uniformity of the materials used 

Grouped in sequences of logical or systematic continuations, my work is serial (elements with a similar character are repeated). When exposed to the light, its tri-dimensional structure is opposed to the plain surface of the support onto which it throws its shadow.' 
(Walter Leblanc quoted on https://www.walterleblanc.org/ecrits.php?mnu=6&id=16 [accessed 11 March 2016])
