“The Artist is a “pur”, avid of perfection, constantly developing, as if to erase a permanent dissatisfaction.”
    Pierre Noailhac.
 
“The drawing is very accurate but the environment which surround those houses or those objects is not realistic. The colors and especially the light seem to be unreal. It’s this contrast which undoubtedly gives the charm to this series of paintings, much more surprising and contemporary than one would have supposed at first sight”
  Emmanuel Dondainas.
 
“The work of the painter Jean-maire Labertonnière is true to the high tradition of the landscape painting of the school of Crozant (where he was born). He works and gives exhibitions in his studio “la magine”. One is often transperced by the precise draftghsmanship and treatment of color, a dream of recomforting romanticisms for the last day of the millennium. This proves that romantic thoughts remain as the eternal youth of the soul.”
  Geneviève Jamet-Cortat
