Raoul Bruckert slowly moved away from figuration. He honestly shows his stages, from figuration to what you might call a refiguration. . .
In this art recognized from within, Raoul Bruckert manifests a true poetic sense. But also a virtuosity which is not without danger. He must fear the seductions of the decorative panel. . . rigorously, Raoul Bruckert must be able to count among the good painters of young painting in Lyon.
Jean-Jacques Lerrant.
April 25, 1962.
Raoul Bruckert knows how to find, in his whites and blacks, the impetus that parks his musical improvisations. Like a cry or a moan from the instrument, the stain shoots up, stretches out, settles on the canvas, cutting through the space with its living presence. . .
Vanished continents emerge within a space marked by a few fantastic skies and, here again, the rhythm specific to jazz finds, in painting, the plastic equivalences likely to express the painter's sensitivity.
René DEROUDILLE.
