“Unfortunately the 1968 Student Revolution brought a great change at
the Ecole de Beaux Arts in Paris. My locker with dozens of plates, finished and
half finished – disappeared. It kept me from prints totally, I mean not from
prints but from etching. I just didn’t feel like going back to school. To me
that was a rape. I thought it was physically so painful that I just decided I
was not going back.”
- Juvenal Sanso
