He was a specialist of black and white. There was in 1979 a big exhibition of his paintings at the Museum of Modern Art in Paris. He was the best friend of Kupka, and used to work together: for instance we have an incredible engraving of Kukpa atelier by my GF. And « peintre à la ligne noire » is an anagram found by Kupka with the letters of Pierre Antoine Gallien.<br />Unfortunately, he didn’t paint a lot and considered his works as study. He hated money.<br />In 1984, the « catalogue raisonne » of the work of my GF was executed: it is now at the National Librairy in Paris.<br />In 2002, there was a big exhibition at the Royal Academy of Art in London, and at the Guggenheim in Bilbao : « Paris, Capital of the Art, 1900/1968 »: they asked my grand mother to lend a dadaist self-portrait (since my GF was also a member of Dadaism).<br /><br />The majority of my GF paintings and engravings have been robbed when my GM went and stayed at the hospital in 2004, where she deseased. The police found some, but it is very hard to find robbed paintings: sometimes, when it happens, you are already in another world...<br /><br />The national museum of modern art (Musee Georges Pompidou/centre Beaubourg) has some works of my GF, and the museum of modern art of Paris had bought an oil on canvas, which is at the permanent exhibition, which name is « historical painters of the 20th century ». You find also a portrait of Ossip Zadkine at Zadkine Museum in Paris.Gerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985746967465520617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706607912742642133.post-31988558501061824322014-06-27T18:23:10.378+02:002014-06-27T18:23:10.378+02:00Thank you Diego for commenting I really appreciate...Thank you Diego for commenting I really appreciate it.
