- "Paul-Auguste Masui's vision is sculptural, massive, he avoids any anecdote, goes beyond the picturesque, goes to the essential, it is a strong painting, solidly structured. The artist has chosen to remain figurative with a pronounced taste for synthesis and a touch of expressionism. If Masui's painting is a witness of his time, it is also timeless, with its power of suggestion, its superb palette, its singular personality." Catherine Puget, former curator of the Pont-Aven Museum
