Description: In the early 1960s, Gerard Fromanger began painting black and white figures in reaction to the dominance of abstract art in Paris at the time. In 1965, he became involved with Figuration Narrative, or Nouvelle Figuration, and was soon one of its leading figures. Each of his works is a lesson in painting, skilled and rich in reference as well as joyous and sensuous in form. Collectors and critics as diverse as Jacques Prevert, Gerard Depardieu, Gilles Deleuze and Michel Foucault speak of Fromanger's originality and capacity to inspire.
