"Blue-green of the deep sea, pale apricot of baked clay, lion-gold of late summer afternoons... Ficre saw color the way a poet hears words. He knew the being of color and its potential. Only someone who feels every nuance and shade of color can imagine what it might become if it were put into practice..."
- Anne Higonnet, in her essay for the exhibition catalogue
