Gérard DESGRANGES (1919–2006)
Norman painter
Gérard Desgranges, born in 1919, belongs to this generation of Norman painters who have managed to capture the soul of a territory while developing a deeply personal pictorial language. Trained amid the landscapes of his childhood, he has, over the decades, built a body of work that is sensitive, structured and luminous, where the rigor of drawing converses with a subtle and nuanced palette.
His work is tied to landscapes, the coast, rural scenes, and the changing atmospheres of Normandy. Desgranges excels in the art of capturing variations of light, the silences of a hollow road, the breath of a sea horizon. His compositions, often imbued with calm and balance, reveal a rare attention to the rhythm of forms and to the poetry of reality.
Recognized in numerous regional and national exhibitions, Gérard Desgranges has managed to reach a loyal audience, receptive to the sincerity and robustness of his work. His paintings, sought after for their timeless elegance, naturally find their place in private collections devoted to the Norman painting tradition.
Even today, Desgranges's work captivates with its precision, its depth, and its ability to convey the emotion of a landscape brought to life. A painter whose vision continues to radiate far beyond his native region.
