Gabriel Godard was born on April 28, 1933 in
Delouze in Lorraine. He started painting in 1950 with many of his initial works
being figurative. Godard later changed his method and style. He does not regard
soon any more the subject but as one pretext with the composition. His paintings
since 1986 have been purely abstract.
Gabriel Godard is a very well listed
School of Paris painter whose works have been acquired by the French government
for the Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. Many of his works have won
prizes and continue to do so. Private collections include the United States,
Germany, Switzerland, England, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Belgium and France.
As an
independent and unclassable artist, Gabriel Godard paints what he is: untiringly
tuned to nature’s metamorphosis and that which defines his intimate being. Ready
to capture, in his own way, the slightest emotion, he couples his truth with the
truth of the world and his real side with his hidden side. What Gabriel Godard
creates today is an internal landscape, an intuitive feeling which builds, a
logic that organizes, all in order to reach the revelation.
