These artists look for intensity in their expression and no longer differentiate between figurative or abstract painting. They all share the common desire to represent the familiar utilitarian objects of daily life adorned with their intrinsic qualities without any intention of transforming them through any personal interpretation. They find unity and commonaliy of purpose in their credo “Do not create art”, or the artist is not an “art maker”. They just want to show the natural beauty of daily life and thus to transform each consumer into an artist.

Index chosen on the movements, important currents and events in the XX 2nd century art
I wanted to give here, with 46 various short introductions, some general elements on the movements or currents of art, groups or exhibitions, which concern the artists whose works are presented in gallery or were it recently. The table, above, will make it possible to visually locate the periods or dates in time.
Each entry is followed of a list of the principal artists belonging to the movement or current. It may be that there is only one simple relationship between such or such artist and the movement in which in theory one locates it (Click on the names in blue to reveal work or works currently in stock).
It will be understood, some movements are represented much than of others in my gallery. The same artist will be often found in several movements (as each one knows it, it was thus).
Although these some introductions, briefly developed, are not addressed to the specialists, they will forgive me the few lapses of memory or choices which would lend to discussion. I hope that these tiny introductions will be however useful to some of you. Michelle Champetier
