Gabriel Godard
Gabriel Godard, a self-taught painter, was born in 1933 in Delouze, France. Historically, Godard is considered to be a second generation member of the “École de Paris” (School of Paris). He began painting in 1950, creating mostly figurative works until around 1986, when he turned to abstraction exclusively.
His works have been acquired by the French government on behalf of the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris and the Centre Pompidou. Godard’s work can be found in many private collections and institutions around the world, and he has amassed an extensive exhibition history over the past seven decades.
Godard died on December 4, 2023 in Vair-sur-Loire, France.
