- - The typical French connoisseur, 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).
He was some sort of art cowboy working from Picasso, Goya or Chinese painters and of course Modigliani...- I will focus on "Modigliani" The taste of our times by Claude Roy, Geneva. collection directed by Albert Skira / (Lausanne, Impr. réunies), 1958.
- He was not a real expert in Modigliani, but at his time he was in quite good consideration, here I include a brief list of some of the works he published (they are not all, but they can give an idea).

Actually his opinion is perfect to fill the notes & records for the auction houses.
But only when it also have the Ceroni name in the list...
If a Modigliani painting only bears the opinion by Roy , it will never hit the floor of the main auction houses
Definitively not a reliable or trustworthy source for cataloging.
