"François Rouan amuses himself, as if he were engraving them, by crossing them out, scratching them out, scarring them, dotting them with little lines like so many commas in pastel or pencil, and dragging them through the whole range of blacks, greys and whites, with the exception of a few pieces with sepia, salmon or almond-green tones that are barely asserted." - Excerpt from the article 'François Rouan le tressage pictural' by Henri-François Debailleux in Le Journal des Arts.
