"Car c'est vraiment, Seigneur, le meilleur témoignage Que nous puissions donner de notre dignité Que cet ardent sanglot qui roule d'âge en âge Et vient mourir au bord de votre éternité!" "For truly, Lord, the clearest proofs That we can give of our nobility, Are these impassioned sobs that through the ages roll, And die away upon the shore of your Eternity." Charles Baudelaire (from "Les Phares" / "The Beacons") "The explanation of the conditions that led me to pictorial sensibility, is to be found in the intrinsic power of the monochromes of my blue period of 1957. This period of blue monochromes was the fruit of my quest for the indefinable in painting which Delacroix the master could already intimate in his time." Yves Klein #art Eugène Delacroix, "Héliodore chassé du temple" (Heliodorus Vanquished from the Temple) Saint-Sulpice, Odéon, Paris, France
