Certificate of Authenticity by Mme Joostens-Koob
During the l'Equipe period Lacasse explored the possibilities of light, space and form, sourcing from his experiences of working a s achild in the stone quarries of Tournai. His ultimate search for light pushed him during 1935-36 to experimenting with spots of colour without subject or form, culminating in a series of small works, which are considered Tachist 'avant la lettre'.
TThe works of Lacasse are included in the following museums: Musée d'art moderne de la Ville de Paris; Musée national d'art Moderne, Centre Pompidou, Paris; Musée des Beaux-Arts, Brussels; Musée de Tournai, Tournai; Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Tel Aviv; Eilat Museum, Eilat; Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh; National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris.
