André Verdet

The collaboration

Verdet and Egidio meet on one of Egidio’s frequent journeys to the South of France. A friend of Picasso, Verdet is present at many of their meetings.

Bound by friendship and mutual esteem, they make together works of simple lines, such as Cosmos and Universe and Images. “No one better than Costantini – says Verdet – knew how to make the crystalline soul of colour travel and settle in the fluid lava of molten glass.”
