Specialist note
« Le monochrome offre à la peinture une dernière chance de se distinguer des autres arts, (...) la surface qui, en diverses occasions, a décrit, fait allusion et suggéré, tout en étant le théâtre d'idylles, de drames et de délires, est maintenant silencieuse. Un rideau monochrome est tombé à la fin du dernier acte des peintures et il serait vain de s'attarder dans une contemplation mystique. » - Enrico Castellani

A monochrome curtain has fallen at the end of paintings last act and it would be quite vain to linger in mystic contemplation.” - Enrico Castellani
