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.

Gathering Vraic on a Jersey Shore.
By Edmund Blampied
Located in Storrs, CT

Dedicated 'To my friend Harold James Bailey E.B.' and annotated 'To wish you a glad glow of happiness for Christmas and the New Year'.

Vraic was traditionally gathered by horse and cart in Grouville Bay and St Ouen's Bay, and in smaller quantities at Le Hocq and Havre des Pas. The practice continues using...
