Je cherche le caractère dans chaque matière. Or le caractère de la céramique de gris est le sentiment du grand feu, et cette figure [sculpture] calcinée dans cet enfer, en exprime je crois assez fortement le caractère.

I look for the character of each medium. The character of stoneware is that of a very hot fire, and this figure [sculpture] that has been scorched in the ovens of hell is I think a strong expression of this character.
