It seems to me that something would have been lacking for me if, in addition to colour, I had not, at any one time in my life, worked at engraving and lithography.

Already, in my earliest youth, when I first began to use a pencil, I looked for this thing that would be capable of spreading out like a great river towards inviting, distant shores.

When I held in my hand a lithographic stone, or a copper plate, I believed I was touching a talisman. It seemed to me that I could entrust them with all my joys, all my sorrows…

Everything that has crossed my path, throughout the years: births, deaths, marriages, flowers, animals, birds, poor working

people, my parents, lovers at night, the Prophets from the Bible, on the street, in my home, in the Temple, in the sky.

And, as I grow older, the tragedy of life that is inside us and all about us.

When I handle all these tools of the trade, I feel the difference between lithography, engraving, and drawing. It is possible to draw well and yet not possess in one’s fingers the lithographic touch; this is a matter of feeling. Not to mention the fact that, in general, there should emanate from each line a particular spiritual quality that has nothing in common either with ‘knowhow’ or with knack….
