In the catalog presenting the Tir à l’arc exhibition at Galerie Gérald Cramer in May 1960, Jean Paulhan wrote: “…. In my opinion, it is one of these signs, and the most pressing, that the meeting, at this extreme point where art and life merge, of a Japanese Zen master, a German philosopher and a French painter…”. Like a dialogue between these texts and Georges Braque’s aphorisms and thoughts, the book is illustrated by the artist with lithographs, etchings and woodcuts.
