Note du spécialiste

"You see, when I painted a local bread blue, the idea of ​ a title came to me almost immediately and almost automatically: in French "pain painted", painted bread, because it sounds also like the kids running down the street after a fire engine and imitating the sound of the sirens: 'bread–bread–bread–bread–bread–bread', you know." (Man Ray, 1972)
