The life of Gérard Schneider

Gérard Schneider (1896 - 1986) was a Swiss abstract painter.

From 1916, he studied with Paul Renouard at the Ecole Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, then at the Beaux-Arts de Paris.

Through his painting, he explored expressionist and realist currents, before finally adopting geometric abstraction, or informal abstraction. He worked with Pierre Soulages and Hans Hartung, among others, and began exhibiting his work at the Galerie Louis Carré in the 1950s. He then signed an exclusive contract with dealer Samuel Kootz.

He seeks to express drama and movement in his work.

The artist dies in Paris at the age of 90.
