Roger Lersy
Roger Lersy is a French painter, lithographer, and composer, born in Paris on April 2, 1920, and died in Orsay on June 22, 2004. He belongs to the School of Paris and the Young Painting movement.
Roger Lersy was born in the 18th arrondissement of Paris on April 2, 1920. Studying the piano from his earliest childhood, likewise "beginning to draw on his father's lap", Roger Lersy, son of a decorator, enters after his schooling and for three years at the École supérieure des arts appliqués Duperré in Paris. Having then begun to paint, living at 19, rue du Faubourg-Saint-Antoine, he then worked as a decorator, however between 1950 and 1954 pursuing higher musical studies with Noël Gallon, continuing after 1954 – the year when the galleries, both in Paris and abroad, begin to exhibit it regularly —, to practice painting (canvases, watercolors, tapestry cartoons) and music together.
From 1961 to 1968, Lersy lived in the United States. From 1970 he went on to personal exhibitions, among others in Paris, London, Geneva, Houston, Los Angeles, and New York. Roger Lersy was initiated into the first degree of Freemasonry in the Ancient Scottish Rite and Accepted in 1979, in the Grand Val Lodge, meeting at the time in Perreux-Sur-Marne, Orient de Sucy-en-Brie (later Orient of Créteil, Val-de-Marne) of the Grand Lodge of France.
Leading two careers at the same time, Roger Lersy has left paintings that are seen as all "rhythms and quivers". In his paintings, the motif develops along a melancholy line with well-concerted chords, pauses, and cadences. One could define Lersy as a "baroque expressionist". For Bernard Dorival, Roger Lersy is, along with Gabriel Dauchot, Jean Commère, and Raymond Guerrier, among "the most noted champions of this expressionism which follows on from the misery of Bernard Buffet”.
Lesser-known parts of Roger Lersy, he was also interested in mosaics, sculpture, stained glass and undertook creations for public and private buildings.
Roger Lersy does not belong to "Musicalism" in painting in the sense that the word "Musicalism" historically refers to a group of painters formed around Henri Valensi from 1932. But if we admit with Raymond Bayer in his review of aesthetics that "Musicalism is not a school but a doctrine of art, a body of knowledge constituting a system", the term can then, by extension, be compared to Roger Lersy in whom music and aesthetic effects (his arabesques and hatched lines of incredible virtuosity for one, his backgrounds of streaks always of spectacular virtuosity for the other), remain in permanent contact.
Roger Lersy died in Orsay (Essonne) on June 22, 2004.

Joseph James Akston was a Polish American sculptor, painter, known for surrealist abstract painting and Aubusson (for Les Ateliers Pinton Frères, tapisserie, Aubusson) tapestry artist. Born in Warsaw, Poland in 1898 he died in Palm Beach Florida in 1983. During the 1960s and '70s the entrepreneur-artist James Joseph Akston adopted a unique Surreal Expressionist style in order to present his private primordial universe and lampoon its denizens, a ribald cast of animal creatures with human foibles. A successful industrialist, he began his career with General Motors foreign operations and then started his own business.
Intermittently he studied painting, first with Jerry Farnsworth in North Truro (Mass.) and then with Jose Clemente Orozco in Mexico. In the early 1960s Akston became publisher-editor of a group of art publications which included The Magazine Arts. Initially an abstract expressionist, Akston had one-man exhibitions at the New York Convention Center and the Corcoran Museum in Washington. Since 2015 the record price for this artist at auction is $12,575 USD for Spheres Aux Triangles Aubusson Tapestry, sold at Bonhams New York in 2019.
He was a Graduate of Georgetown University. He sat on the board of the Norton Museum.
