Jean-Gérard Carrère (1922–2015)
A young graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux, where he studied under Roganeau, Jean-Gérard Carrère chose to teach drawing at a very early age.
A member of the Salon des Artistes Français beginning in 1952, he held numerous solo exhibitions in Paris, London, and Bordeaux, as well as group exhibitions in Saint-Raphaël, Paris, Bordeaux, and Collioure, where he met Picasso in 1954.
During his many travels, he painted the old quarters of Dutch cities, as well as German, Scandinavian, and Spanish landscapes.
He was often inspired by his region, his hometown of Bordeaux, and the Arcachon Basin, as well as by the Basque Country, Provence, and the Pyrenees.
Several of his paintings have been acquired by museums in Bordeaux and Saint-Raphaël.
