Raymond GUERRIER (1920-2002)

Raymond Guerrier was born in Paris in 1920. Of Breton origin, he was a true loner. His eye developed with all the museums he frequented, but he was self-taught. He spent almost his entire life in Provence – he settled in Eygalières in 1955, where his need for independence, peace, and freedom drove him.

From his first exhibition, the artist asserted himself like one of the major painters of his generation. He obtained the price of the young painting in 1953, in front of already famous painters like Bernard Buffet, Lorjou, Rebeyrolle.

At first, during his learning time, his painting took place in the figurative world. His painting with a dominating grey, created a poetic and nostalgic climate. He painted landscapes, sometimes animated characters, and still life canvases. On his way, feelings and discoveries lead him gradually towards abstraction.

The South gave him his subjects. It was where the style of his pictorial language evolved little by little beginning with Braque’s influence; the organization and the appearance of the forms changed.

The external world and the objects were erased to leave the place to purely plastic fittings of colors, forms and rhythms.

Many museums have works of the artist who died in Eygalières in 2002.
