She, who so much appreciated the realization of vases, abandons this part of the couple's creation. In the 1950s, under the influence of abstraction, their research had led them to the production of forms that had no relation to the reality of the moment. In her last writing for the book "The Eight and the Earth", Jacqueline took back all her notebooks of writing and drawing, she will say about this period that she could not limit herself to an expression which did not correspond to anything].
