Note du spécialiste

"One should not confuse what the eyes perceive with what the spirit produces as a result of the perception... The eyes only see what appears to them in a single moment; they meet on a small visual field. The spirit, however, completes; it remembers all the fields, lets them dance together. It brings them together, exchanges them, everything is in motion" (J. Dubuffet, quoted in A. Husslein-Arco (ed.), Jean Dubuffet: Trace of an Adventure, Munich 2003, p. 26).
