Paul SIGNAC (1863-1935). Autograph notes; 3 pages and a quarter in-fol. (most in pencil). "Italy is a tolerant and promising land, soft grace and ease. - Leaving abstraction for life. The past is death. To become aware. Stripping. Recrudescence of life. Surrendering to things. Pretending to be natural - by every action to serve it. ...] Man has not said it all - what riches are hidden behind are suffocating cultures ... Extirpate is the remedy of the weak: inability to not react, weakness of will. - One remains young only if the soul does not rest. Do not ask for peace. This is no longer life. - All healthy morals are dominated by the instance of life. ...] The old morality condemns - ours opens the heart to understanding, intelligibility, approval. ... - Nothing began only with energy. - All morality is the means to bring back greatness "... Etc. In the margin of the first page, pencil strokes, orange pencil or watercolour.
