"Any person who has not yet heard of this name should hasten to retain it to memory, for this man is probably the greatest painter of the 20th century." 
(Look magazine May 4th 1954)
"Many artists in Montparnasse and Montmartre regard [Lorjou] as the hero of modern painting.  He regards Picasso as old-fashioned, and goes in for powerful ultra-modern paintings in brilliant colours, many above life-size."
(l'Humanité magazine Oct 5^th 1951)
