Specialist note
"[Le carré concentrique] est une image d'une puissance picturale sans équivalent. Il est si parfait que vous pouvez l'utiliser, en abuser et même le déconstruire jusqu'au point de l'ignorer. Il possède une force presque indestructible - du moins pour moi. C'est un don, et il m'est très difficile de ne pas le peindre. C'est une image parfaite avant même de commencer et il est assez difficile de la faire exploser."
"[The concentric square] is just a powerful pictorial image. Its so good that you can us it, abuse it, and even work against it to the point of ignoring it. It has a strength that's almost indestructible - at least for me. It's one of those givens, and it's very hard for me not to paint it. It is a successful picture before you start, and it's pretty hard to blow it."
