Mountain painter Lucien Quenard was born on December 9, 1902, and died in 1995. He had his studio at 13 Place de la Grenette in Grenoble, Isère. Member of the Dauphiné Society of Fine Arts and the Dauphiné Academy of Painting. During the Second World War, in the winter, he worked as a street performer in the city of Grenoble: by turns clown, acrobat, dog trainer, santon maker and puppeteer with puppets of his own making. Numerous exhibitions in the biggest galleries of Grenoble, Lyon and especially Paris (Galerie Duncan, Galerie Georges Petit, Galerie Raspail, Salon des Peintres de Montagne) as well as in the south of France (Galerie Arts et Reliefs in Nice) earned him a certain well-deserved success for his post-impressionist painting with very classical composition.
