A certificate from Mr. Jean-Dominique Jacquemond may be given to the purchaser. Allô J'écoute is a major work of the precursor painter Michel Macréau. The Artist exposes his work in an intimate fresco begun in the early sixties. Violence, speed perfectly mastered, he illuminates the graphics of colored tattoos in a masterful layout where his writing, his evils are deposited under the impulse of the ejaculation of the material coming out of the tube.
