Thèse   « Coups » on the Church   are the second common work of two very spécial artists : a Canadian painter living in Switzerland and an European writer living in Paris. In 2000, as I met Claude Bolduc for thefirst time and as thèse meeting was like a disclosure to me, I edited a short essay. Now, through the présent book, the intention is not to try an interprétation of an untranslatable work, but to enjoy as the paintings and the texts proceedfrom the same mystical inspiration. (P. M.)
