"Ma première lithographie date de 1954. Elle représente un enfant en haillons portant deux seaux d'eau, d'après un croquis rapporté de Cordoue lors de mon voyage en Espagne en 1952. Je l'exécutai sur pierre, au pinceau et à l'encre lithographique. Je fus déçu du résultat et n'en tirai qu'un essai et une épreuve.
Quatre ans plus tard, je réalisai une dizaine de nouvelles lithographies, toujours sur pierre, la plupart en noir.
Au lieu d'employer l'encre et le crayon lithographiques, j'utilisai l'encre zincographique plus fluide me permettant de travailler à la plume ou avec de fins pinceaux de martre. Le tirage fut très satisfaisant. au grand étonnement du Père Guillard, lithographe.
Jusqu'alors l'encre zincographique ne servait qu'à la zincographie. Actuellement elle est d'un usage courant puisque pratiquement toutes les lithographies se font sur zinc et non plus sur pierre, ce qui facilite la manipulation. Par ailleurs, le zinc offre autant de possibilités que la pierre.
En 1959, La Guilde de la Gravure me demanda une édition en couleur. Je choisis une nature morte aux chardons, tirée à 220 exemplaires.
Par la suite, les tirages varièrent de 10 à 160 épreuves.
Mes lithographies en couleur étaient assez proches de mes toiles. A partir de 1968, période de La Danse, je supprimai petit à petit le clair-obscur et la matière pour donner plus de légèreté et de transparence.
Les lithographies postérieures à 1970 sont dessinées en noir sur un fond coloré souvent volontairement arbitraire, donnant l'aspect d'un dessin rehaussé.
La couleur n'est pas intégrée au dessin mais joue un rôle d'accompagnement du trait qui est lui-même une arabesque écrite.
Quand le noir est en place, je procède à des essais variés de couleurs et décide de choisir celui qui me semble le plus intéressant.
Parfois une variante donne lieu à un petit nombre de tirages que l'on appelle «états».
Ils sont toujours mentionnés et numérotés.
Dans mes dernières lithographies la couleur est souvent dans la forme. Elle épouse le contour du graphisme. Le rythme coloré oblige quelquefois à alléger ou renforcer le noir du dessin.
Le noir au blanc est un procédé qui permet d'obtenir un trait en blanc sur un fond noir ou en couleur.
Toutes ces possibilités et bien d'autres encore, le côté inattendu des hasards qui naissent de la technique, permettent des improvisations qui enrichissent et donnent une autre dimension au dessin. Celui-ci devient alors une lithographie originale, avec sa propre expression.
Tout cela contribue à rendre ce travail passionnant".
