Specialist note
"Les peintures de Wolfgang Paalen sont fondamentales : les sens transpercent le mur séparant la vision nouvellement créée de la réalité (...). Tous les grands artistes inventent un monde nouveau : mais ces nouveaux mondes révèlent les expériences originelles de la race humaine."
Herbert Read, ‘Wolfgang Paalen’, in Minotaure, No. 12⁄13, mai 1939, p. 90.
