Exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with show held at the Museum of Art Carnegie Institute. Complete with essays by Leon A Arkus and Eugéne Ionesco and writing by the artist. "Pierre Alechinsky leans over the painting on the studio floor, his long Japanese brush poised in his left hand, Suddenly his meditative stance is broken by a rapid act of drawing-painting. A copious flow of pigment spreads over his paper- it knows with certainty where it is going. Alechinsky pauses. And once again channels his impulses in a sequence of strokes that spawn bold arabesques and fantastic creatures. There is seemingly no end to his improvisation." -- From the introduction by Leon Arkus.
