Marthe Donas - Reclining woman (1915, 1917, 1920)

“I seek the sublime, trying to elevate myself above the material, while seeking the rhythm in the compositions, both in color, as well as line and plane. In my last paintings, I leave much room for the first intuition I feel. However, intuition seems to me insufficient to perfect a work. I try to dominate, to direct. We are material beings, but with a soul that tends to rise to infinity.”
