LOG-BOOK .
Previous page Page suivante
   In 1944, J.D. began to record many informations related to his work in a " log-book ", i. e a list of his paintings with the title, an opus number, the size, the place of the signature, the date of achievement... Deliberately, he never wrote down any date on the painting itself, with two or three exceptions.  These informations were completed by a brief description and a skeletal drawing of the composition, to be replaced by a photograph towards 1957 . At the end of August 1967, the third volume of the logbook was already half-filled: " Philibert ", the last painting recorded bore the number 881 (see § Painted works).  Besides the three volumes, the log-book included another notebook recording other informations.
