"What was important were the studies and the paintings done on nature, in front of the sites that surround the charming village (Labastide du Vert) where Mr. Henri Martin works during a large part of the year. It is in his paintings that all the great qualities of Henri Martin were revealed: the scrupulous sincerity, the emotion in front of nature, the gift of seeing by large powerful spots and of transposing on his canvas all the vibrancy of the sun and the light, the strength, the consistency, the freshness and the brightness of the tone. Achille Segard, The painters of today, 1914
