SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
The Parisian painter and lithographer Maurice Verdier (1919–2003) entered art school in 1938 after attending evening classes in Montparnasse. With Paul Aïzpiri and Gaëtan de Rosnay, he formed the rue de Berri group, associated with the emergence of the figurative Jeune Peinture movement. He participated in the Salon d’automne, the Salon des artistes français and, in the early 1950s, the Salon de la Jeune Peinture. His canvases combine thick paint and broad outlines with a palette including salmon pink, straw yellow, deep blues and earthy greens. His lithograph accompanies a poem by Maurice Fombeure in Douze poètes, douze peintres, published in 1950. Awarded the Prix Fénéon that same year, he exhibited in cities including Paris and Montreal.
