observations

« But what about the noise of crumpling paper which he used to do in order to paint the series of "Papiers froisses" or tearing up paper to make "Papiers dechires?" Arp was stimulated by water (sea, lake, and flowing waters like rivers), forests. »

(Lettre de Greta Ströh, directrice de la fondation Arp, dans une lettre à Cage à l'origine du titre.)
