About the Item

Michel de Gallard (1921-2007) was a French painter. He is considered a member of the School of Paris and La Ruche and is associated with French artists Andre Minaux, Bernard Buffet and Bernard Lorjou with whom he founded the Anti-Abstract Art Group "L'homme Témoin". After studying medicine, from 1943 Michel de Gallard devoted himself exclusively to painting. He studied at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière et Arts Décoratifs with Yves Brayer, Mac Avoy and Othon Friesz. He enrolled in the Charpentier where he met Paul Rebeyrolle. In 1946, he met Bernard Lorjou in his atelier in Montmartre. The discovery of rigorous, robust and expressionism painting influenced the young artist. Brueghel, Lorjou, as well as Maurice Utrillo and Francis Gruber were the pillars of Michel de Gallard’s art. He then moved to La Ruche, The Paris address and studio of many famous artists such as Marc Chagall, Chaim Soutine, Ossip Zadkine and Fernand Léger. He joined the group of the ‘Misérabilisme’, to which belonged at times also Pablo Picasso and Bernard Buffet. In 1950, he was one of the founding members of the Parisian Salon de la Jeune Peinture along with Bernard Buffet. In 1955, numerous of his works were bought by the French State, the city of Paris and foreign museums. Since 1971, de Gallard exhibited his works in major Parisian galleries.
