Moris Gontard

Moris Gontard, present on the French art scene for many years, his work was included in the French selection for the biennial exhibition in Venice in 1978. His art starts off in meticulous observation of reality (the leaf, the blade of grass, the door) then evolves toward a conception of landscape that is further and further from realism. Strengthened by the freedom gained from increasing mastery of his technique, he conserves only the essential essence which inscribes his work in the French tradition of aquatic landscapes, the subject matter he has shown preference for in the last few years. Well represented in the cultural patrimony of our banks, BNT, BP, Caisse d’Epargne and other private firms, including the RATP and the famous restaurant Taillevent.

I viewed his work at the Galerie Protee on the Rue de la Seine in Paris
