Jef Verheyen - OEUVRE
Ensemble
Il est bon de vivre en ces temps-ci. Un tournant s'annonce qui sera essentiel dans l'Histoire. Il semble que tout incline vers sa juste valeur. Même la peinture authentique ne sera plus achetée par snobisme mais bien par amour. Les amateurs rétrogrades ne surchargeront plus leurs cimaises par goût de la spéculation. Parmi toutes ces valeurs nouvelles, épurées, comment feraient-ils pour s'y retrouver?
Essentialisme.
S'isoler.
Aracher ses sens aux forces de la matière.
S'unir totalement aux vibrations supérieures.
A l'essentiel.
Rouge, noir, bleu ou blanc.
Devenir fou d'une couleur.
Tomber, s'envoler dans l'espace. [...]
Jef Verheyen, 'Essentialisme', De Tafelronde 8 (1963) n. 3: p. 13.
