JEAN THOMAS 1923 - 2019 Painter Photo not available Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lyon, Jean Thomas exhibited early works in 1946, treated in the wake of the great painters of modernity. “The influences of Fernand Léger and Henri Matisse resonate in his first paintings, often with muted, brown-gray tones, and we also find the echo of the research of his contemporaries like Bernard Buffet, notably in his series on religious art” From 1955, Jean Thomas turned towards landscape, which he now depicted with a very personal style, delivering representations of almost photographic precision. Through a precise study of light and great pictorial mastery, his works are the testimony of a trend: realistic post-war landscapes. If Paris and its region offer him an inexhaustible playground, Jean Thomas flourishes in travel – across France and the world, from the United States to Polynesia. He kept a notebook in which each painting was listed and located. He left to venture to the four corners of the world. We can thus follow his wanderings in Corsica, Normandy, Auvergne, and New York. A painter by trade, Jean Thomas has exhibited several times in Paris (Place Beauvau art gallery, Galerie de la Tournelle), across France and abroad, from Tokyo to Florence and Brussels Museums: -Musée d 'Modern Art of the City of Paris - National Museum of Modern Art-Paris, Center Georges Pompidou - Museum of L'ille de France in Sceaux ...
