Travail et expose en Suisse, France et l'Espagne. Exposition de gravures et de peintures chez Givaudan. 1977-1979 Expositions en France. An artist of such stature, of such maturity, with such a grasp over the most elusive or harrowing visions of his protracted dream, such an alchemist of the image deserves that we should feel attached to him with a mixture of gratitude and awe. Indeed, the drawings and drypoints exhibited in the Cabinet des Estampes, besides their sophisticated technical qualities, surprise us by their cosmic impact and spiritual vistas - rather disturbing in the last analysis.
Witchcraft is no longer to be feared nowadays, since it is being laughed at.
Yet, genius, at all times, has been akin to witchcraft when it manifests itself. The symbolism is obvious, yet challenges any interpretation. As a matter of fact, any interpretation is treason in the field of oniric creation and it is appropriate to give up for a while, for the time of one of those dives into the irrational, our little Cartesian habits of thought. One does not resist the urges of a spiritual adventure if the motivations of the adventure themselves answer the mysterious demands of an inner necessity. Therefore, one accepts to be led in all confidence, one passes through narrow gates to discover the precise avenues of a world where the pulse of the blood and the circulation of the air have nothing in common with the natural pulse and circulation, where the landscape is cut down to the mere lines signifying its power.
