Gaston Sebire (1920-2001) Les Corbeaux, Hst 61x81, Without Frame.

Gaston SEBIRE (1920-2001) Attached to the School of Paris and extending a practice of the landscape inherited from French painters of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, Gaston Sébire was appointed painter of the Navy in 1973. He became a member of the Académie des sciences, belles-lettres et arts de Rouen in 1973. He is also associated with the YOUNG PEINTURE movement. Throughout the second half of the 20th century, he exhibited in the main Parisian salons, and was notably part of Maurice Boitel's group at the Salon Comparaisons, for 45 years. For René Huyghe and Jean Rudel, Gaston Sébire is to be placed, in fact with Maurice Boitel, but also Guy Bardone, Albert Lauzero, Michel Rodde, Michel de Gallard, Jean Pollet and Camille Fleury, among the painters who "have endeavored to translate the fleeting aspects of nature in an art that tends towards permanence ”Bibliography: - Éric Mercier, Years 50 - La Jeune Peinture, vol.
