Dear Clayart friends: I have the answer!! Interpret as you wish
is what the curators probably suggest. I wrote to Michel Conroy,
Exhibition Director and asked her, telling her that a lot of posters
on Clayart have worked with their dictionaries.
I told her I would like to share it with Clayart and voici!
>From the list of Cc.s, it looks as if a lot of people wrote
and asked her same question.
