"Dewasne rejected the technical expedients of conventional painting. He invented new methods that involved no deception of surface, color, or viewer, and he dealt with problems without ignoring of dodging them” said Daniel Cordier.

“Jean Dewasne, through his stubborn determination to bring art into the city via vast public decoration, is to monumental painting of the second half of this century what Fernand Léger was to the pre-war half” Harry Bellet- Le Monde – 23th of july 1999

Born in 1921 in Lille died in 1999 in Paris
