Collection: Pichon Guy

Guy Pierre Arthur Pichon was born in Cherbourg on May 1, 1933, into a family of shipyard carpenters. Gifted in mathematics, he joined the Rouen teacher training college, then the École normale supérieure de Saint-Cloud, before beginning a brilliant career as a mathematician in research and university. However, in parallel with his career, he devoted himself to painting as an autodidact.

A lover of the Normandy Seaside, influenced by Marquet, Corot, Derain, Sisley and Dufy, he captures the softness and light of the landscapes of Normandy and Picardy. From the tip of La Hague to Dieppe, he paints churches, beaches, skies and shores. A member of the Independent Artists of Paris and Normandy, he participates in numerous exhibitions. He awakens his grandson Frédéric Luquet to painting before passing away in Rouen in 2007.
