Michel De Gallard is considered to be a member of the illustrious “School of Paris” and his work is often exhibited with that of Camille Bombois, Bernard Buffet, Edouard Cortes, Jean Dufy, Henri Lebasque and Elisee Maclet. De Gallard is considered to be one of France’s most eminent figurative painters. His technique recalls the style of the great Parisian post-impressionists of the early years of France. De Gallard abandoned lengthy studies of the classics and medicine to join “La Ruche,” the group of artists who rejected abstraction and embraced a new form of realism. They included Leger, Archipenko, Zadkine, Chagall and Soutine. In 1948 he joined Lorjou, Buffet and Mineaux as an active member of “Manifestes de l’Homme Temoin.” An important detail which makes it easier to understand some aspects of his painting is that Michel de Gallard wanted to be an architect. From labourers’ cottages to large cathedrals, every man made structure fascinated him. We cannot forget his love for Paris and for Utrillo, a painter of urban poetry with his typical façades. Themes from houses, roofs and walls are major elements of his painting. He has been awarded many prizes by both the City of Paris and the French government. His work may be found at the Musee d’Arte Moderne de la Ville de Paris and art museums ranging from Jakarta to Yamagata.
