Further details

« Je reçois avec plaisir votre si intéressante lettre illustrée et je vous remercie infiniment de votre titre que j’adopte « La grasse matinée ». Il est parfait, comme certains titres de Chirico, qui furent d’ailleurs trouvés par Apollinaire. Quant à Yoga, trop tard, la transformation est faite et j’en suis content, j’aurais justement bien voulu que vous voyiez cela pour bien comprendre ce que je veux dire par « Pour moi, c’est cela peinture. C’est cela l’intensité ». Et non comme le disait toujours J. Lefranc : refaire un autre tableau, car les qualités du 1er temps de gagné car j’ai horreur de me recopier. Et il faut limiter sa proposition à une trentaine d’œuvres. Voyez Léonard et Wermer. Quelques œuvres que l’on compte sur les doigts. » Lettre à Rapin, Paris, 15 juillet 1959.

‘I am delighted to receive your very interesting illustrated letter and I thank you very much for your title, which I have adopted for my painting: "La grasse matinée". It is perfect, like some of Chirico's titles, which were actually suggested by Apollinaire. As for Yoga, it is too late, the transformation has been made and I am happy about it. I would have liked you to see it in order to better understand what I mean by "For me, this is painting. This is what intensity is". And not, as J. Lefranc always used to say: do another painting, because the qualities of the 1st time won out, because I hate repeating myself in my work. And you have to limit your selection to about thirty works. Look at Leonardo and Wermer. They each have only a few works that you can count on your fingers'. Letter to Rapin, Paris, 15 July 1959.
