| Quotation | "¦ Thanks especially for Chagall. This is a wonderful book to have. It is a whole world in itself, full of joy and innocence, a delight and a paradise. I was so happy to find an earlier version of Le Lac opposite a portrait of Raissa. I see it is after all part of the world she saw in Chagall, but I said "Dufy" because it looked like that to me at the time. In any case this is one of the most eloquent of her books, and one of which one cannot grow tired. |
