"L'importance est dans le processus, pas dans le produit." - Bruno Munari
"Comment se fait-il que notre époque génère des œuvres d’art de ce type ? Un tableau monochrome comme une porte. Une boîte en plastique transparent remplie de dentiers usagés. Un tube de dentifrice de douze mètres de haut. L’agrandissement d’une case de bande dessinée." - Bruno Munari
"Travailler par soustraction signifie opérer des choix complexes pour parvenir à ce qui est essentiel." - Bruno Munari
"Oui, cher Munari, ce sont les esprits comme le tien qui font de l'art notre république." - Pierre Restany
"Même dans l'obscurité la plus noire, elles (les oeuvres de Munari) continuent à tourner. Nous dormons et elles non. Nous nous réveillons et elles sont là encore qui tournent, accompagnant avec douceur la fuite irréparable du temps." - Dino Buzzati
"L'homme de Munari est contraint d'avoir mille yeux, sur le nez, sur la nuque, sur les épaules, sur le postérieur." - Umberto Eco

Artists on display
The art and the artists display: proclamations, galleries, museums, personal or collective exhibitions. On walls or in shop windows, wise or rebels, posters warn, argue, show. Some were specially conceived by an artist for such or such event, other, colder, have only the letter.
Some were created in lithographic technic, most are simple offset reproductions. They are many those who like collecting these rectangles of paper, monochrome or in games of colours, in matt paper or brilliant, with many words or almost dumb.
We are happy also to be able to greet, by this pages, mythical galleries as those of Denise René, Louis Carré, Claude Bernard, Berheim Jeune, Maeght, Pierre Loeb and others.
