You have to know," says Reverdy, "how different the minds of painters are from those of poets, and especially from those of literati, to understand this strange situation. I'm far from complaining, because this plastic spirit, simpler, more realistic, harder and clearer, opposing my sentimental obscurity, has contributed enormously to untangling the threads of my inner skein. By means as primitive as those used by painters, I was able to establish a powerful current between my very inadequate intelligence and my excessive sensitivity. The habit of considering reality with such direct clarity, of embracing its contours exactly and forcefully, without superfluous subjective complications, enabled me to find means of expression capable of establishing a balance between the considerable input of the senses and the certainly too poor output of the mind." Louis Thomas. Poster in remarkable condition. Dimensions 58 cm X 42 cm.
