In my different attempts to look for a painting of which I had a vague memory, but that seemed to be stuck on my forehead since a few days, I throw words like hooks on Google: “Violet de Mer … I think” …

In Italian it is called “Limone di mare”. I found it a coincidence that I had just made that painting with shellfish – which however are mussels and not sea figs – and that its colour was precisely violet. Not that violet, Mars Violet – that I just bought, but a violet that can be overlapped.

I also found the title of the painting I was looking for:

“November (Violet de Mars)”, Ben Nicholson, 1963.

Now I think that “Violette di Marte” might be a good title for the exhibition, even though Marte and Marta are quite funny together …
