Inspired by his childhood memories in Istanbul, and his many voyages in Turkey, the “Arcades” - paintings and sculptures - are initially exposed in Istanbul at Aksanat, and in 1997, at the Nev Gallery in Ankara, then in France at the Espace Ecureuil of Toulouse with a foreword of Pierre Daix.
Aside from further influences of the Symbolists, Pierre Daix explored Picasso’s Cubism from a formal position in relation to the ideas and works of Claude Lévi-Strauss on the subject of myth.
In 1962, the artist asked his biographer Pierre Daix, to expose the fake interview, which he did in Les Lettres Françaises.
