Hello.
As promised! ... At any
Lord, all honor! The man with thousands of blankets.
I met a man over 80 years living as an artist, surrounded by his paintings ...
... Back many years back ... before the 60 ... out of the School of Fine Arts in Bordeaux.
The young man at 20 years and a future invent.
Not easy!
He worked for 2 years in a box that produces cartoons ... then 5 years in industrial design from LMT to Boulogne (92) on the Quai de Seine.
Determined to do something else, he assembles a folder with drawings, illustration and paintings, which he presents to publishers. Finally, through a relationship that works in the comics, he reports to the Black River, with whom he begins to make book covers.
And as the Black River is the extension, Michel Gourdon more and more work. Too well!
"This work-fun" lasts for 28 years. Some months, he makes up 20 designs per month. A Herculean task ... Basically, 3500 blankets ... We must imagine! ...
... Suddenly, after 28 years, more than anything!
At 52, he must begin again. Everything.
But, thanks to his fame, he reworked easily to, Tele 7 days, Star TV, Presses de la Cité, etc..
stop at 72 years ... Active retirement. He turned to painting in oil, blood, and individuals offered works by the artist.
Currently, collectors buy the original artwork created for the Black River in those years.
83 years ... a real well-deserved retirement for this charming man ... I hope I see her again.
Now, time for interviews with authors themselves.
In a few days or weeks. I await their responses.
Michel
