Jean Degottex

Jean Degottex (1918-1988) was not only one of the essential painters of the post-war French scene, but also one of the pioneers of an art whose freedom and inventiveness irrigate, until to today, the most contemporary practices. Sensitivity to the medium as much as to the sign, play with the material, the ability to establish space in an absolute economy of means, bringing into play the profession and the ways of doing things with each new creation, are some of the working methods. of this man whose work, now more than ever, stands out in its obvious clarity.
