| On 17th December 1964,
at M. I. Meyerson's request - a teacher at the Ecole Pratique des
Hautes Etudes - and within the context of the Research Centre for
Comparative Psychology, J.D. gave a lecture with slides on
his work as a painter. Many friends of his attended the lecture.
Today, we can still read through the plan in two pages written by
J.D. as well as the stenotyped record. A few quotations by J.D. and many other elements describing his progress in the present book were extracted from the lecture, i. e the moment when he took the decision to become an abstract painter (see § Revelation), the great hold of figurative logic in spite of himself - he became aware of it in 1948 (see § Golden Section), the baroque in his work (see § Munich), the importance of gesture, the achievement of a painting (see § Technique), etc. |
J.D. devoted
most of the lecture to his abstract work divided into three periods...
However, when he showed slides of some latest paintings - it was in
December 1964, i. e ten months after the end of the conscious dream
he pointed out:
Some time later, J.D. stated that it was possible to distinguish five periods, most often separated by a " transition " or " buffer " series in the whole of his work, the figurative phase included (see biography for dates and more details in the annex). |
