"What I make with, and thanks to, the plastic alphabet, is my own plastic language." (Herbin)
Joint founder of the Abstraction-Creation group in 1931, Auguste Herbin began, in 1942,to make compositions using a "plastic alphabet", in which each letter corresponds to a simple geometrical shape, a black of colour or musical notes. The rigorous and playful composition of Vendredi 1 is thus defined by the letters of its title.
