"The folding did not proceed from anything. It was simply a matter of putting oneself in the state of those who have not yet seen anything; putting oneself in the canvas. One could fill the folded canvas without knowing where the edge was. You don't know where it ends. You could even go further and paint with your eyes closed. Simon Hantaï
