Biography
In 1964, Paul Wagner left the Decorative Arts School of Strasbourg with the National Diploma of Fine Arts in Paris.
He joined Marie Claire magazine as First Layout Artist and continued in the Press (11 magazines of all styles: Votre Beauté, Lui, Podium, etc.) until the title of Artistic Director of Vogue France in 1984 until 1988.
In contact with great creators and the greatest photographers in the world, such as: Guy Bourdin, Helmut Newton, Jean-Loup Sieff, Georges Hurrel, Horst or Herb Ritts… Paul Wagner developed his sense of aesthetics and his passion for the image.
Kindly advised by these masters, he let himself be tempted by photography and specialized in decoration, still life, exoticism and eroticism… And then the old dreams took shape again… Thirty years of artistic direction and photography brought him back to his first love: painting…
Today, Paul uses photography and its power to capture the instant with its magical lights as an “indispensable intermediary" between drawing and painting.
