Village Of Gargilesse By Pierre Jérôme (1905-1982)

Oil on cardboard signed lower right by the painter Pierre Jérome, representing a view of the village of Gargilesse in the green Creuse valley, this Berry village so loved by George Sand welcomed a number of painters seduced by the romantic vision of its houses with sloping roofs harmoniously grouped around the Romanesque church and the castle. Classified since 1982 as one of the most beautiful villages in France, due to the romantic charm of its tightly packed houses, with sloping roofs covered in brown tiles, clustered around the castle. Pierre JEROME (1905-1982) Trained in classical painting, and also awarded the Prix de Rome in 1934, Pierre Jérôme (1905-1982) was a legendary teacher, a true master who taught painting at the Academy of the Grande Chaumière and the École Polytechnique. An immensely gifted and learned creator, he worked hard all his life to reach the height of his art. “To interpret is to seek a light in the darkness, it is to grope, it is to tire out a labyrinth with its cries and its races.
