Jacques Prévert, French writer (1900-1977)


     Prévert with Paulina,                          At Prévert's home. Antibes, summer 1967.
   Witold's daughter. Paris 1966.
At the Opening of Witold's exhibit. Galerie 3+2, rue Visconti, Paris 1966.

   Witold's People,
   an undeniable feeling of presence
   and secret charm.
   The mystery of everyday people
   painted with love in the furtive silence
   and the obsessive noise of the street.
   You follow their progress,
   but you have only the back view of them,
   and like them, you will give a back view
   to other visitors who will take your place
   in front of the paintings...

    Prévert's poem about Witold's "People" paintings. Paris 1966.
