Tegn, Christian Dotremont, 1971"The forms which appear to us today as the most valuable, as much through their formal arrangement as by their expressive intensity, are not properly speaking either abstract or figurative. They participate precisely in these cosmic powers of metamorphosis where the true adventure is located. (From where there arise forms which are themselves and something other than themselves, birds and cacti, abstraction and new figuration.)"
Jean-Michel Atlan, 'Abstraction Adventure in Contemporary Art', Cobra, 1950
