Raymond Humbert was integral to nature, not in order to represent but to feel the seasons. Laduz in its organic vitality in its sap … —Philippe Chabert

You can still paint landscapes. You can still restore the emotion provided by the leaves shivering in the wind. We can still desire, with just paper, pigments and glue, share with others these poetic moments that nature offers us. We can still, with a little modesty, as Raymond Humbert did, look at the world a sensitive eye. We still can. —Olivier Cena, Télérama, 2000
