1957

Happily returns to a more lyrical abstraction, again inspired by a subjective interpretation of the elements of nature: Great red composition (Grande composition rouge), acquired by the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels in 1958, Nocturnal reflects (Reflets nocturnes) (Municipal Museum of Ixelles).

Painted Sea mirage (Mirage marin), a large painting acquired by the Center for Scientific and Nuclear Research of Mol, and his Self-portrait in white (Autoportrait en blanc).

The man is nervous, his style often indicates it and his self-portraits draw in profile a bird—a woodpecker perhaps—the eye vivid and the nose keen; this face, in life, is of an extreme mobility, the gaze passes from dream to question in less than the bat of an eye. Dream and acuteness, curve and straight, impulse and reflection: these antagonisms do not cancel each other out; shades of a temperament, one linking them together, a style choreographs them and they assert themselves references of a perspective.
