Own touch to the artist Framing in gilded wood of quality Lucien-Philippe Moretti: French painter born in Suresnes in 1922, died in Étretat in 2000. Student of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris in the 1940s, he was named associate member of the National Society of Fine Arts in 1947. Moretti will live several years in Montmartre. He will leave the Butte in 1963. His drawings immortalize the youth of the 50s, the hippies of the 60s. It is these characters that he then paints on canvas. Moretti decides to revive through his painting a mythical, Edenic era. He exhibited in all the major galleries in Paris, notably at the Roussard gallery, then also abroad from the 1960s (New York, Miami, Montreal, Tokyo, etc.).
