As an art critic, Georges Boudaille contributed to the monthly publication
L' Actualité Artistique and to the weekly Les Lettres
Françaises. Because of his long acquaintance with
J.D's work, he wrote various texts and prefaces for exhibitions
(see Biblio).
In 1979, he gave a lecture on J.D. at the time of the retrospective
exhibition organized by the Museum of Fine Arts of Quimper.

| " Deyrolle's work is perhaps
most attractive because it is unique in its style. Yet
- it proves its vitality - it is constantly being renewed.
Intrinsically, Deyrolle's manner is characterized by the quality
of the paint, the fluidity of the forms, the elegance and the
ease of the drawing, the variety of the graphic subjects used,
and by his exceptional talent of colourist. In a word,
by all the qualities so typical of true painters since a few
centuries. " Portrait of the Artist:
Jean Deyrolle. " (L'Actualité Artistique,
July 25, 1952). |
