About the Artist

En '67 le Musée d'art Moderne de la ville de Paris acquiert son tableau 'La Reine de Saba'
L'année suivante il est invité par Air France avec Man Ray et 5 autres à representer les artistes Americains residents en France - dans une exposition inaugurante leur nouvelles quartiers -

En '68 le Musée de Rennes achete 2 de ces tableaux -

Sa Mosaic "Case Verte" est choisit pour la couverture du magazine 'Metiers d'Art '79)

Claude Roy écrit: C'est avec la vrai nature d'un peintre naturel qu'il est passé d'une expressionisme abstraite à la maniere des americains des années 40 et 50 à ces vastes
toiles silencieuses où des couleurs subtiles et lumiere eloquent s'unient en parfaite harmonie - Puis peu à peu, organiquement (le mot convient pour ses oeuvres vivantes)
il retourne à l'hyporealism imposant une rigeur formel sur çe temperament incendiare et son amour pour la sensualité - Ainsi ces nus remarquables, d'un désir vertigineux, sont tenu en equilibre avec une précision de geometre où se rencontrent feu et glace.
