Gaveau Claude

Claude Gaveau is a French painter who was born in 1940 in Neuilly-sur-Marne. He entered the Paris School of Applied Arts in 1955, where he studied murals for five years: stained glass, tapestries, mosaic and fresco. In 1960 he studied at the National School of Fine Arts in Paris, where he painted with oil and pastel colours, lithography and gouache. Influenced by great painters such as Cézanne, Braque and Duffy, Gaveau is also inspired by music and lyricism. His talent was quickly recognised, in 1963 he won his first prize and received a scholarship from the Academy of Antwerp which allowed him to study Flemish painting in Brussels. His career took a real turn in 1968 when he was nominated for the prize "la Crtique Parrainé" by the Saint Placide Gallery in Paris. A returning traveller, the landscapes he observes around the world allow him to broaden his artistic palette. Gaveau's work is internationally recognized for his nudes and his still lifes. His bright color palette gives the impression of being covered with silk, which in turn gives a certain subtlety to his work. His art is often described as "symphonic" because the elements he uses in each of his compositions seem perfectly balanced, not real without being abstract, this gives a mysterious and unique aspect to his pieces, making them easily recognizable.
