"The geometrization of the first illustration in Salammbô is so radical - considerably more than in any Cubist painting - as virtually to thwart any figurative interpretation without prior knowledge of Flaubert's text....What emerges is an example of dynamic equilibrium between a free interpretation of the text, and adherence to it; even the choice of colour plays its part, and the geometrization is subservient to a carefully-balanced independence of the illustration from the written word....Schmied's palate virtually constitutes a visual preface" - Nasti. Nasti B3.
