“The victor (Wolfli), at one with the sacrifice, here in full grandeur; never has the front of the coin contrasted so strongly with the reverse: on the one side, ithyphallic, pursuing some poor little girl, on the other side, cheerful, though always locked in, sleeves rolled up, plug of tobacco in his cheek, in front of a pile of his most vivid creations, which, as an ensemble, represent one of the three or four most important oeuvres of the twentieth century. And, what is not, shall be. Amen, amen: Amen. And thus it shall be.” Andre Breton 1965
