Its work

" Its color has a kind of transparent quality which is that of the reflection: it timid, but is not retained. The form is known as with the color but is never aggressive “coloring”, for the glory and the illustration of this one. It seems inhabited interior and living the moments of a birth, the pigments suspended in a light matter. It does not paste - quite to the contrary -; the color is erected scaffolding around the grain, of the whiteness of the fabric, the support (...). They are colors rather murmuring as a source leaves the ground. They are not, naturally as, in each work as little nombreuses."
Reynold Arnould, foreword of Andre Beaudin, works 1921-1970 , Large palace, National center of contemporary art, Paris, 1970 (pp. 17-18).
