Gabriel GRIFFON (1866 – 1938)
worked for a long time in Bordeaux, then Nice and Agen (his house at 17 rue Carnot became the Griffon Museum).
The one who at the beginning was only a Sunday painter quickly saw his reputation increase.
We particularly appreciate the poetry of his watercolors where idyllic characters stand out in an ethereal light.
