Georges Dussau Paintings
French, b. 1947
Painter and engraver Georges Dussau was born in 1947 in Chalon sur Saône. He now divides his time and work between Mellecey (Saône-et-Loire) and Mougins (Alpes-Maritimes). Georges Dussau studied art at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs in Paris. He began his career as a painter in 1969, and had his first solo exhibition at the Chalon-sur-Saône town hall gallery in 1971. The young man dreamed of being an artist, and this dream came true in the early 70s when he went to Paris to present his work, and was quickly spotted for his talent and style. It was with publisher and gallery owner Jacqueline de Champvallins that he earned his letters of nobility. For over 50 years now, an artist of abstract expression, he has concentrated on the techniques of oil painting, silk-screening, engraving and mixed media. His works are characterized by a range of vibrant colors and an expressive use of color and form.Georges Dussau combines fluid lines and fragmented geometric forms. In his long career, the artist has exhibited his work in over a hundred shows worldwide. His work has been exhibited in many cities, including Paris, Tokyo, New York and Hong Kong. He has also participated regularly in international contemporary art fairs (Düsseldorf, Frankfurt ....). His works are included in the permanent collections of the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York.A tireless worker and perpetual creator, Georges Dussau transports us into a poetic universe all his own. "I've spent my life having fun in my studio with serious work," he writes. In the field of engraving alone, he has produced some 680 original works in just over 50 years! A prolific and multifaceted artist, he wrote: "The greatest joy is to make a living from your passion."to

The Petrified Origin oil on canvas painting Antoni Pitxot
By Antoni Pitxot
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Title: The Petrified Origin
Artist: Antoni Pitxot i Soler (1934–2015)
Technique: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 25.6 x 31.9 in (65 x 81 cm)
Date: 1967
Condition: Unframed
Signature: Signed lower right: Pitxot
Provenance: Private collection
Notes: Early work from Pitxot’s mature period, featuring the symbolic and meticulously rendered stone forms that would define his artistic identity.
📝 Work Description
In The Petrified Origin, Antoni Pitxot presents a haunting and timeless vision of a single, eroded rock suspended in a dreamlike, undefined space. The stone, modeled with sculptural precision, appears to float over a subtly reflective surface, devoid of background or narrative context. Its porous texture, cracks, and shadows evoke a fossilized memory — a silent relic of geological time.
Painted in 1967, this piece exemplifies Pitxot's unique visual language, developed through his practice of collecting stones along the Costa Brava and transforming them into anthropomorphic and symbolic compositions. The result is both surreal and solemn, an ode to nature’s memory and the enduring presence of the inanimate.
👤 About the Artist
Antoni Pitxot i Soler (born in Figueres, 1934 – died in Barcelona, 2015) was a Catalan painter deeply rooted in the surrealist tradition. Coming from an artistic family —his uncle was Ramon Pichot, a friend of Picasso and Dalí— Pitxot trained as a draughtsman and painter from a young age. In the 1960s, he settled in Cadaqués, where he developed his distinct artistic universe.
His paintings revolve around stone as a symbol of permanence, transformation, and memory. Pitxot created sculptural assemblages from real coastal stones and later immortalized them in oil on canvas. His works often hint at human figures, ancient myths, and allegories of time.
🎭 Connection with Salvador Dalí
Pitxot was not only a close friend of Salvador Dalí but also one of his closest collaborators. Dalí admired his work and invited him to co-design the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres. After Dalí’s death...
