The post Featured Artist: Gabriel Godard appeared first on Uncommon and Curated | Fashion, Beauty, & Lifestyle Magazine.]]> Born in 1933, Gabriel Godard is a French Post War & Contemporary painter who was a part of the second generation School of Paris (École de Paris). The “School of Paris” community was centered in the cafes, salons and shared workspaces throughout the city and included first-generation artists such as Paul Cezanne, Pablo Picasso, and Henri Matisse. Paris was thought to be the most influential and intellectual artistic center at the start of the century and supported the development of such fundamental movements as Cubism, Fauvism, Dadaism and Surrealism, amongst others, which appeared in the post-war era.

A self-taught painter, Godard began painting in 1950, and is known for his ​​abstract, landscape, still life, marine, and figure painting. His notable works include Atelier, 1972, Trouée sur la riviére, 1979, and Paysage, 1966.
