Biography
Marcel Dumont (1921-1998) was a French painter. He is one of the forerunners of the lyrical abstract movement.
His friend, the grat painter Jean Bazaine and Jean Cocteau understood very well that Marcel Dumont was a magician. It is simplistic to define his work as abstract. His painting is more subtle. Il is like a photograph that has been sent to the developer. Marcel Dumont's visions appear gradually. Alpilles (Provence, France) and Vercors (the region in France) mountains, olive trees, Apricot-trees.
Little by little, Marcel Dumont gives away his secrets and leads us to an almost figurative painting. Shadows and light are revealed, landscapes take shape, the lines become sharper, there is magic at work.
