Gerard Economos Folk Art
Gérard Economos was born in Paris in 1935. Since 1978, Economos has resided in Guadalajara, Mexico, a city that has become his refuge from a very busy world-traveling schedule. He studied Architecture and Urbanism at the Fine Arts School in Paris and launched his career as a painter in 1953. In time he established close relationships with many artistic and literary icons, among them Jean Cocteau, Michel del Castillo, Lawrence Durrell and Jean Giono. In 2005, the French Government awarded him the highest distinction in France, the Legion d’Honneur medal.
