Sketch for plate number 2 of the lithograph series "Entre-Deux", created in 1957 and published in 1964, comprising 17 plates in total. The French autograph description on the reverse explains that the image expresses "a construction, a coherence, a cohesion, a distribution of lines to all spaces, a concentration of lines in a reassuring geometry", stressing that "between two things, two lives, two poles, two times, two beings, life proceeds, seasons elapse. Things are born or reborn. Life passes": "Et par suite, dans ce livre intitulé 'Entre-Deux' ('édition en UN exemplaire, unique (celui-ci) le dessin suivant (celui-ci) se devait d'exprimer une construction, une cohérence, une cohésion, un envoi des lignes en tous espaces, une concentration des lignes en une géométrie rassurante. Car entre deux choses, deux vies, deux poles, deux temps, deux êtres la vie s'ecoule, les saisons se déroulent. Des choses naissent ou renaissent. La vie passe". - Short marginal tears.
