“Dear M, we are all assured that painting is inherently a two-dimensional affair, yet we invite you to consider an additional relationship: that of the image of the image.
For years, we have meticulously endeavored to destroy every painting created. And we have not taken pleasure in this, quite the contrary, we have felt considerable
contempt. You see, we have never been as interested in painting as much as something akin to it. We pursued the dimension of emulation, and in the end, in the image
of the painting reproduced on the canvas, we found the same aura that characterized the original color, in a vision free and lofty up to the sky.”
