Michel De Gallard (1921-2007), 100 X 81 Cm,

Michel de Gallard (1921-2007) is a French figurative painter who belongs to the SECONDE ECOLE DE PARIS, and to the PEINTRES TEMOINS DE LEUR TEMPS group, as well as to the YOUNG PEINTURE movement. He is one of the 5 founding members of the L 'HOMME TEMOIN group (with Bernard Buffet, Paul Rebeyrolle, Bernard Lorjou, André Minaux). He exhibited during the 1960s at the Maurice Garnier gallery and from 1971 at the Galerie de La Présidence. Oil on canvas "the children and the hen", 100x81 cm signed and dated 1948 in the middle on the left. Original frame. Annotated and signed on the back. What we think about it: we love this painting and it is no coincidence that the Galerie Dagault defends this movement of which Michel de Gallard is one of the founders and the most talented examples. This group of paintings, which in its time took the figurative to the highest level, has sometimes been unfairly forgotten. This is only temporary because, like Bernard Buffet, who is now reaching new heights, others are following in their footsteps and their prices are constantly climbing. Michel de Gallard, who was defended by the same gallery as Bernard Buffet (the very famous Maurice Garnier gallery) is in this vein and this painting, in addition to its decorative aspect and its undeniable technical qualities, will prove to be a very good investment in the medium term (format , condition, authenticity, date, signature… everything is there…).
