Henri Landier

Henri Landier is a French painter and engraver born in 1935.

At 17, he moved to Montmartre, to live with the painter Jean d'Esparbès. He enrolled at the School of Applied Arts and attended morning classes at the School of Fine Arts . He painted post-war Paris in dark compositions, sometimes imbued with a certain tragedy.

It was at the Lacourière-Frélaut workshop that he learned the demanding art of engraving. There he met Buffet, Picasso, Alechinsky and Miró.

In the 1970s, the discovery of Provence prompted him to incorporate color into his palette, which has since continued to become more and more vibrant.

His work includes approximately 5,000 paintings and 2,000 engravings . More than 160 solo exhibitions in galleries and museums have been devoted to him in France, Italy, the Netherlands, India, Japan and the United States.

Henri Landier works at L'Atelier d'Art Lepic , in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, where every year an exhibition of paintings is dedicated to him in May-June.

The Espace Henri Landier , also in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, permanently displays his engravings.
