"I am an impatient romantic and I flatter myself about it. I hate anecdotes and only enjoy adventures. Wasn't it Fichte who said: "Nothing exists except through the imagination". I completely agree with the German philosopher on this point. My imagination has allowed me to see wide and high, to see intensely, to see live. I want each thing to give me all its power, all its intensity. This is why the nude, because of its complexity of forms, and the great decorative horizons have always tempted me", said Pierre Combet-Descombes in 1925.

Pierre Combet-Descombes, fascinated by the female body, the nude and the voluptuousness of forms, whose dark representations are the testimony of a powerful obsession. A genius of monotype, he keeps all of his creation in a studio, where access is refused to any individual, a secret and mysterious laboratory of carnal desire that will burn itself twice, asphyxiating the painter in the second blaze of unfulfilled pleasure.
