Água Viva (1973)

Clarice Lispector

The cover of the book 'Água Viva'

This book opens with the epigraph:

"

There must be a kind of painting totally free of the dependence on the figure‒or object‒which, like music, illustrates nothing, tells no story, and launches no myth. Such painting would simply evoke the incommunicable kingdoms of the spirit, where dream becomes thought, where line becomes existence.

"

Michel Seuphor
