RODDE (Michel), painter born April 27, 1913 in La Grand-Combe (Gard) and died February 20, 2009 in Aiguèze (Gard). It was during the occupation that he discovered painting. In 1946, an official in the diplomatic administration, he also followed Mac-Avoy's courses at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. The Othon-Friesz prize, obtained in 1952 jointly with Jean Commère, made him known to art lovers and critics. In 1956, he resigned to fill the post left vacant by Robert Humblot at the school of crafts and then in 1965, he succeeded Jean Aujame at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. The freedom of his touch creates admiration. Michel Rodde becomes famous for giving birth to his subjects by sublimating them by the contrasts of shadow and light. Many French museums keep his works including the Granet museum in Aix-en-Provence, the Calvet museum in Avignon, the modern art museum of the city of Paris, etc. Renowned private collections have his paintings in the image from that of Jacqueline Kennedy.
