Note: "La vérité est dans les mots. Il a été dit: "bête comme un peintre". Bêtise, c'est le nom du réel avec quoi la pensée se dispute. La peinture a affaire au réel. Je m'occupe, dond des bêtises." (“Truth is in words. ‘Stupid like a painter’, it has been said. Stupidity, that is the name of the reality thought argues with. I am concerned, therefore, with stupidities.”) Walter Swennen
