Éditions du Regard, Paris, 1986. Reproduced on page 164. Note: A French artist renowned for his work close to the lyrical abstraction movement of the 1950s and 1960s, Jean Degottex gradually oriented his work around gesture and line. Each canvas is presented as a support for the gesture and its trace, reduced to a minimal form, the result of deep meditation. His work can be found in numerous public collections, including the Centre Pompidou (Paris), the Guggenheim (New York) and the Pinacothèque Gutaï (Osaka).
