Excerpt from Sérusier's
" course notes " (1910-1912) on a comparison between art and the
alphabet (published in the annex p. 162 of the third édition
of A B C of painting. Paris: Floury librairie, 1950).

| " To me, A B C D mean the geometric and
simplifying primitive principles to be round in ancient art,
even ageless ones. X Y Z mean the minute intricacies brought
by declines in art, i. e precarious equilibriums which are well
to the fore during declining times and the basic roots without
which there is no reliability. " |
