"Among the most coherent contemporary works, the most revealing of a new world, we must now count those by women artists who have found in greater isolation and in the very excess of the difficulties to be overcome the courage of a more total commitment, of a fidelity to self that leads them to the end of their path. Vera Pagava's work is one of the most assertive in terms of style and absolute determination. She is in full accomplishment. In Première exposition Alex Maguy Vera Pagava, 23 novembre-décembre 1956, galerie de l'Élysée, 1974, preface Jacques Lassaigne. Provenance: Private collection
