« A partir d’octobre 1980 commence une série de peintures aux couleurs acryliques qui se poursuivra pendant quatre mois et comptera 66 sujets. Les premières sont exécutées sur des feuilles de papier de format 102 x 70 cm pour être après coup marouflées sur toile. (…) Le nom de Partitions a été donné à l’ensemble de ces peintures, à raison de ce qu’on peut appeler une partition de l’espace et qui s’y manifeste constamment. » - Max Loreau
