Reinhoud never shook hands. We shook his. "So, my old friend..." He's far away. His head nods from side to side and I disconnect the oxygen tube. I restore the supply at the threshold of the nostrils. The beetle stirs on its back. It falls back asleep. I leave the room. A nurse in the hallway is doing her nails.
The sixty-year complicity that united Pierre Alechinsky and Reinhoud had the properties, tender and solid, of these copper plates, which, hammered, acquired imaginary faces as good-natured as they were disturbing. The painter, with pen and brush, offers us a portrait of the sculptor of a disturbing intimacy, crossed by a dreamlike world where the bread crumb reigns as a model, populated by this marvelous bestiary, half animal, half organic, at once grotesque and magical.
