- - French poet and essayist (1915–1997).
- Drawn early into political commitment, he joined the PCF, but became disenchanted during the 1950s and moved to a nonconformist liberal humanism. His essays, travel writings, and theatre criticism show the same
whimsical ebullience as his informative and revealing autobiographies, Moi je (1969), Nous (1972), and Somme toute (1976).
His published essays range across Picasso, Goya, Chinese painting and Modigliani.- The principal Modigliani title is Claude Roy, Modigliani (The Taste of Our Time), Skira, Geneva, 1958.
- Roy was not a specialist cataloguer of Modigliani; a short list of works he published is given below.

Auction notes still cite the name when a Ceroni number is also present.
A painting documented only by Roy is not treated as sufficient by the major auction houses.
The compilation is incomplete as a catalogue raisonné. |
