Specialist note

'It is not a question of simply making what one sees, but of feeling, of completely understanding what is, and this in order to make something utterly different from that which already exists and of which your eyes can only perceive a limited proportion'
Georges Valmier, in Bulletin de l'Effort Moderne, July 1925.
