Pierre Fournel Art
French
Pierre Fournel was born in Rodez, South of France, in a family of craftsmen embroiderers. He started drawing early on in his childhood. After studying at the École Nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris, he was appointed professor of art in Montpellier in 1950. His enduring works depicted the villages and landscapes to which he was attached. His later art, starting from the 1970s, saw the introduction of external elements such as crumpled paper, sand and earth seeking to integrate those materials to obtain the impression of timeless erosion; perhaps a statement on the endurance of nature over the fleeting passage of human existence on earth. Fournel's artworks periodically go on sale in some of the major international auction houses.
