Gerard Eppele Midcentury Original Drawing "Eppreuve d'Artist"

About the Item

Titled “l’Homme Sur Un Pied” This contemporary drawing by listed French artist, Gérard Eppelé whose abstract metaphysical forms of humans is a very interesting piece of masterful art. The Man on one Leg is only one of the hundreds of great works he painted. This is an original “eppreuve d’artist" signed and dated. When Gérard Eppelé chose to set up his workshop in Arles in 1998, he left Tourettes-sur-Loup, where he lived since 1973, teaching at Villa Arson, a national art school located north of Nice, for more from twenty years, until 1992. Born in Cherbourg in 1929, he grew up in Morocco, returned to France in 1942. First trained in the profession of adjuster, he then attended the School of Fine Arts in Toulouse then, for two more years, the Aubusson National Tapestry School for which he obtained a scholarship. He worked for a few years as a painter and decorator in the cinema with Max Douy and Claude Autant-Lara. In 1959, health problems forced him to settle in the southeast. Established in Vence, he meets Jean Dubuffet and becomes his assistant. The latter recommends him to Alphonse Chave who allows him to make his first exhibition, Sleeper, in 1960 in Vence.. Dimensions: 24" W x 1" D x 30" H Very good vintage condition, minor creases to the paper.
