Albert LAUZERO (1909-2006) Fleurance "Vendanges en Gascogne" oil on canvas signed listed Dimension 46 x 55 cm

In 1961, he held his first exhibition at the Galerie Durand-Ruel, where he remained a featured artist until 1974, when the gallery closed. He held five exhibitions at this prominent gallery.

Solo exhibitions followed one after another in numerous cities in France and abroad (London, Caracas). In 1966, he was invited by the Antibes Cultural Center for a retrospective at the Bastion Saint-André.

He returned to the light of his native Gascony in 1970, a light reminiscent of that of Tuscany with its contrasts, harmony, and nuances. He captured this essence in the large canvases he created in his summer studio.

From 1972 to 1982, he served on the committee of the Salon d’Automne, which, in 1981, dedicated an entire room to him in tribute to his work. He was the guest of honor at numerous art fairs. In 1977, he assumed the presidency of the Salon Contrepoint in Montmorency, a position he held for several years.

In 1982, he was one of the founding members of the 109 group. He was also selected for numerous exhibitions at art salons in Melbourne, Toronto, Sofia, Houston, Warsaw, Tehran, Cairo, and Japan…

Since 1988, he has been a permanent artist at the Galerie Bernheim-Jeune in Paris. Several exhibitions were held at this major gallery beginning in 1989, including a retrospective in 1996 titled “50 Years of Painting,” followed by another in 2011 after his passing.
