Catalogue
Titles in quotation marks were not given by the artist.
Paintings and drawings are listed together; chronol-
ogy is interrupted when necessary to group related
works. Dates enclosed in parentheses do not appear
on the works. It should be noted that certain of the
portraits are wrongly dated, and that the dates of cer-
tain other works (especially of the thirties) have not
yet been precisely determined. In dimensions height
precedes width. Works marked with an asterisk are
illustrated.
