Paul Oudet, is a Postwar & Contemporary French artist and sculptor. He created rare jewelry and objects for the Galerie Grotte of Claude de Muzac in Paris, circa 1970. After having brilliantly passed the Applied Arts and the Fine Arts, Paul Oudet at 25 is a young professor at the Fine Arts, architecture section. But perhaps because he is the son of a naval officer, or because he grew up facing the Louvre Museum, where he spent long hours in the countless galleries, he sets off to discover the distant lands of Asia and Central America. He returned to France at the end of the sixties. He works and uses his know-how and his long observations to develop a singular work around marine architecture and plant structures. Albert Loeb discovered him and presented his work in Paris from 1972. Throughout this decade and the next he continued his collaboration with his gallery owner and multiplied his experiences. He participates in the adventure of the gallery of the Carita sisters, rue Saint Honoré. He is also exhibited at the Jean-Pierre Hagenauer gallery, at Artcurial and his creations are also sold at Henri Bendel in New York. Then, it is the eye of the Princess de Broglie, Claude de Muzac, who captures the grace of her objects and shows them in her turn in her gallery, an institution of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. It will then be Naïla de Montbrison. (La Galerie Parisienne with thanks)
