le peintre Eugène Paul, dit Gen Paul, est né le 2 juillet 1895 dans une maison de la rue Lepic (Paris XVIIIe), peinte par Van Gogh. Souvent qualifié d'« expressionniste » et de « peintre de Montmartre », ce qui est assez réducteur, cet auto didacte était aussi gouachiste, dessinateur, graveur et lithographe. Il reçut la Légon d'Honneur en 1934. Il a notamment voyagé aux Eatts-Unis où il a peint des jazzmen et musiciens classiques, un sujet qu'il affectionnait. Il a été un ami de Louis-Ferdinand Céline. Il est mort le 30 avril 1975 à Paris. Born as Eugène Paul in a house in Montmartre on the Rue Lepic painted by Van Gogh, Gen Paul (July 2, 1895 – April 30, 1975), was a French painter and engraver. Due to the dynamism and motion inherent in his paintings, some consider Gen Paul to be the first action painter, a precursor to the abstract expressionists of the 1950s. In 1934, he was awarded the Legion of Honor. In addition to painting scenes from his native Montmartre, including that of his friend, composer Darius Milhaud, Gen Paul travelled to the United States where he painted jazz and classical musicians, a subject with which he had much interest. | |
