Born in 1908 in Lutry, Switzerland, Lucien Beyer grew up in an artistic environment shaped by his father, the ceramicist Paul Beyer. Initially a designer for silk weaving, he quickly turned to painting and, in the early 1930s, joined the Lyon circle led by Marcel Michaud. He became an active member of the Témoignage group, an avant-garde movement that brought together painters, sculptors, artisans, and poets around a deeply humanist and spiritual vision of art.
Beyer participated in major group exhibitions, notably at the Salon d’Automne in Lyon in 1937 and at the Parisian presentations of 1938 and 1939, where his work was recognized for its sensitivity, sense of material, and unique plastic language. His career is part of the vibrant artistic scene of the interwar period, alongside figures such as Étienne-Martin, Manessier, and Le Moal.
Lucien Beyer's compositions captivate with their subtle balance between emerging abstraction and intimate resonances. His palette, often warm, reveals a pursuit of inner light, while his structured forms demonstrate a high level of mastery in drawing. Regularly present on the French market, his works enjoy consistent interest from collectors, who are sensitive to the rarity and quality of his production.
