The School of Paris cannot be considered as a movement nor even as an artistic current. The term only refers to a number of artists, all quite different, who all happened to be working in Paris during the 1945-1960 period and who, after Jean Bazaine, referred to their artistic style as “nonfigurative”. Each one, French or not, in his own fashion, held a significant place in the intellectual and artistic world of the post World War II period. Atlan had his first personal show in 1944, he died in 1960. Estève, a magician with color, is considered as a major force within the School. Fautrier became the voice of survivors, Hartung that of despair and rebellion in front of the horror of the recent war. As for N. De Staël, he once simply stated: “I have never found any other releasse from all the anxiety of life than to paint.” The School of Paris may not have been a real school, but these artists certainly all shared the same vibrant passion.

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
