“Wols does not paint the world we walk on and make part of our daily lives, he paints the idea of a world that is his alone. Nevertheless, he invites us to share in its splendours and torments, in its delights [...] and in the anguish that can only arise from knowing that we are so dangerously exposed to becoming part of it, lost in it, or engulfed in the horror of having been born for a spectacle that will always elude us.”
