Michel Dufour lives and works in Burgundy, in the Cluny region, and on the shores of the Bages lagoon in Languedoc: these are his two main sources of inspiration.
The pull of abstraction was present from a very early age. Over the years, the geometry of his early works gradually gave way to more fragmented forms, broader gestures, and a delight in color.
In 1972, his first solo exhibition was held at the Galerie du Musée in Dijon. Since then, Michel Dufour has exhibited regularly in Burgundy and Languedoc, as well as in Paris, Lyon, Marseille, and abroad, in Germany, Spain, and the United States. Following an invitation from Columbus University, the Newark Museum dedicated an exhibition to him entitled "Indian Journal," featuring around one hundred works on paper accompanied by poems by the writer Lucette Desvignes.
