«Patrick Saytour contributed to a collective re-assessment of pictures as such and painting at the end of the 1960s as founding member of the Supports/Surfaces movement. The feature that would henceforth characterise his work, appearing as a common denominator throughout, is a circular, indivisible bond linking theory and practice. Saytour's artistic development is based on re-assessments that each time require the artist to «handle things differently», and we might also add that it is the desire and decision to «handle things differently» that led to these re-assessments. More than an actual theory, it might be more correct to speak of a critical and self-critical reflexivity. Whatever the case, the elements in Saytour's artistic practice touch on the most fundamental problems: those of the status of the work of art and of the artist.»
