This is what Hungarian-born sculptor Etienne Beöthy wrote, like a profession of faith, on the occasion of the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles of 1947: "The tenuous, fluid signs more readily satisfy the pressing demands of primordial rhythms.

Here they constitute a kind of metaplastic that tries to suggest the essence. »
