What about painting?
It came to me as a mean to say these “important things” you don’t speak about. These things can’t be said clearly. They are literally unspeakable. They become blurry and they eventually vanish when analysed.
They can be expressed only by allusion.

Ascendance à la nuit
(Ascendance at night)
In 1959 the painter begins his lyrical period. Shapes are dynamic, highly contrasted colors are full of movement and loaded with painful memories.
