Roger Desserprit

Roger Desserprit (1923 - 1985) was active/lived in France.  Roger Desserprit is known for Geometric bronze sculpture, mixed-media and graphite on paper.

Roger Desserprit was born on 9 March 1923 in Buxy, Saône et Loire (FR). From a very early age he was thoroughly interested in drawing and painting. He started studying painting in 1938 and integrated the prestigious Ecole des Beaux-arts in Paris in 1941, at the age of 18.

However, the overwhelmingly classic teaching of the Ecole did not suit the artist. When he later mentioned his years of learning (1941-1943) at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts of Paris, he evokes the Michelangelo plasters that were representing the modernity while the majority of assignments were studies of antiques figures.

His discovery of the movements of the late 19th century and the early 20th century were essentially through his readings (Van Gogh, Gauguin) and by his visits to art galleries in the “Quartier latin” that were exhibiting the works of Derain, Vlaminck and so forth.

From 1943, he was often constrained to travel sanatoria where he painted his hands in a way formally close to cubism.   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 2076 characters.]  Artist bio
