Simone Rihouet-Coroze, who directed Triades for years, wrote: “The accident that deprived him of his sight marked him for an exceptional destiny. That child would have become a man of value, not comparable however to what total blindness made him become. Lusseyran is a painter of inner light ”.
Lusseyran himself, describing his own situation, stated: «The world had not suddenly slipped away from me, on the contrary I held onto it more tightly than I was capable of holding before. My eyes hadn't closed, they had rolled back . Now I looked at the world from the inside."
