« Even if there can be tracks, splashes of paint and relief, the essential lies in the scraping, the trailing, the meticulous excavation like on an archaeological dig, the hunt for ghosts hidden between two layers or levels, »
Michel Butor, writer.
« Pierre Marie Brisson is a facile draughtsman, a superb and sensitive colorist, a master of design and composition, and a creator of richly tactile surfaces. » Robert Flynn Johnson, curator.
« These images remind us of something, a precious and gentle memory… »
Jean Rouaud, writer.
