MONSIEURS KLINES

Losey's film
set in the Occupation
with Alain Delon
as a double mirror
of our hazardous time
a Jewish man
wanted by fascists
yet who resembles
the other Monsieur Kline
cannot escape their history
or our own.

After the war
Franz and Yves Kline
open their exhibition's art
we canvas
their nudes
of experimentation
not knowing what draws
us in.
