Episode de la guerre des nerfs
1957
Attentive to the fluctuations of his own mind, Réquichot transcribes emotions and tensions in his work. He represents inner, sometimes paroxysmal struggles.
Several elements combine to make this painting the image of a veritable battlefield. First, the fragments of torn paper glued to the canvas background, then the dark-red, brown and black colours which, when they run, quite clearly represent effusions of blood, and wounds. As an image of agitated "nerves", the spiralling lines esca ping from the centraI magma transcribe
a stridence, a painful and radiating vibration.
