"An undisputed master of lyrical abstraction, Olivier Debré, who divided his time between the banks of the Loire and his Parisian studio in the rue de la Planche, had come to designate his paintings only by the indication of their color and, eventually, the place of inspiration. He named the color because "color is the space where the emotional event is located." Alfred Pacquement rightly observed that "Debré's painting is a painting of invading the surface. Nothing escapes the color, no void comes to oppose the global saturation of the space." In this painting, we can see that, on the beaches painted in successive transparencies, sediments of matter, in the lower part, give rhythm and delimit the space. These are by no means accidents, but very conscious pictorial interventions, which are the characteristic mark of the artist, one of the most important French painters of the 20th century." Jean-Luc Chalumeau, May 2022
