“When I hear about culture, I take out my clothespin…The Albigensians will certainly have, this morning, one of their biggest surprises of the year by discovering a linen worker with her clothesline where shirts, pants, slip skirts, bras are hung… In short, the whole wardrobe usually hung up in the drying rack at the bottom of the garden or elsewhere…The entire register of human feelings is there. Astonishment, amazement, irritation, questioning, indignation, frank laughter, a crooked smile betraying some inner jubilation…” (Le Tarn)
