“It is the paintings that look at us”: these words alone, discovered upon waking one dreamlike morning, once spoken by Paul Klee, plunge the writer Maurice Pons into the world of The Sunken Island (1923), a watercolor preserved at the LaM – Lille Métropole, Museum of Modern, Contemporary, and Outsider Art. We are delighted to rediscover this writer with his parsimonious work and his wandering writing, from which spring universes mixing reality and fantasy. Maurice Pons cleverly succeeds in conveying to us the fervor he shares with Paul Klee for dream worlds. This book is a journey to the heart of painting, the shared quest for an “unimaginable paradise.”
