Biography
Born in 1921 in the Nièvre, he graduated from Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1947 and began abstraction in 1948 to become one of the main representatives of lyrical abstraction in the immediate post-war period. personal exhibitions will be devoted to him by the avant-garde galleries of the time. In the 1950s, the material, thick, was then spread with a knife with energy, like the personality of Oscar Gauthier, made up of vital energy and generosity. At the same time, the composition, irreproachable, is dictated by the spirit which controls, structures and formats. Later the brush will replace the knife and the expression will tend towards the purity, in search of the essential. But the problem of the delicate balance between spontaneity and reflection, subtlety and rigor, will remain at the heart of his research his life during. Oscar Gauthier is represented exclusively by the Arnoux gallery, of which he has been one of the major artists since 1987.
