SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Trained at the École régionale des beaux-arts de Montpellier, Bernard Lignon continues his career in Paris. He settles there after his studies and exhibits at Carlier alongside Yankel, Dauchot, Zendel and Lelong. In 1958, he receives a “place of honour” in the salons of Galerie Pétridès, rue La Boëtie.
His work encompasses landscapes, city views of Paris and Venice, streets and canals, as well as scenes of harbours and rivers. The gallery biography also mentions floral still lifes, portraits and figures of clowns, harlequins and bullfighters. In the early 1970s, Lignon moves into abstract art before returning to figuration, which the biography presents as his preferred field. The gallery lists presentations of his paintings in Milan, Tokyo, Chicago, London, Marrakesh, New York, Geneva and Rio de Janeiro, among other places.
This profile brings together identity references for Bernard Lignon and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
