My Father, Claude, was always an art amateur and connoisseur, with a special place in his heart for the abstract. Since retiring in 1992, he discovered a passion, a talent and the inspiration for creating his own art. He produced 560 pieces of abstract artwork, using various surfaces, and mediums. He worked on his beloved collection up to a mere weeks before he left us.
A few years ago, in an effort of conservation, and in collaboration with Claude, I started the on-going process of creating High-Definition scans of his pieces and created this website for people to enjoy.

“My name is Claude. I was born in France in 1931 and am the creator of the drawings and paintings presented on “Claude’s Art”.
At a young age I used to draw and paint, abundantly, scenery and characters. I abandoned pencils, ink, brushes and paint when I entered my professional life but took them back up during my retirement. However, my inspirations changed. I found the joy of drawing lines and spreading colors only by building shapes born from my imagination and influenced, no doubt, by museum and gallery exhibits of 20th century artists, dead and alive, and tried to express them to the best of my ability.
Often, I would only use brushes to trace and paint, occasionally pencils, ink and markers, always on small formats, the only way my “atelier,” also known as my apartment dining table, permitted.
The result is the body of work that is sampled on this website. Thank you for looking at my art. I hope it will give you as much joy as it gives me.
Claude“
Claudes left us on December 5th, 2021. He was grateful for a life well lived, full of creative wonders, knowing the joy his art brought to his family, friend and strangers alike.
