Guy Bardone (1927- )

Written in 1976 for the catalog and reproduced as printed, with spelling corrected. Not current.

Guy Bardone’s Cezanne-like brushstrokes, his textural and vivid image of forests and foothills in winter sun and shadow suggest a classic French art education. Bardone was, in fact, born in St. Cloud, France in 1927, and studied at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs in Paris where he was a pupil of Desnoyer, Brianchon, and Gromaire. Awarded the Prix Feneon in 1952, he was a member of the Salon des Jeunes Peintures and the Salon d’Automne, and was awarded a number of other prizes.

Bardone has had one-man shows in Tokyo; at the Marlborough Gallery, London; and the Findlay Galleries in New York. He has illustrated books by Montherlant, Ayme, D.H. Lawrence and Henri Troyat.
