        <h1>Jean Fautrier (1898-1964)</h1>
      </div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fautrier/Fautrier_Nude.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Nude</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Jean Fautrier was a painter that defied classification, whose style bordered on the edges of Abstraction, Surrealism and Cubism. He has been compared with artist Alberto Giacometti, but truly was an artist in a league of his own. Essentially, Fautrier is known as one of the founders of “informal art” and also as one of France’s greatest painters of post-war themes.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fautrier/Fautrier_DarkLandscape1945.jpg" alt="art" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Dark Landscape, 1945</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Raised in London, Fautrier would attend the Royal Academy of Art as well as the Slade School of Art and eventually moved to Paris. Fautrier found this formal teaching too restrictive, however, and went off to create a style of his own. Fautrier was not just a painter, but a sculptor, illustrator and printer as well.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fautrier/Fautrier_TragicHead1943.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Large Tragic Head, 1942, sculpture</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">He had his first solo exhibition in 1924 at the Galerie Visconti. It was here that critics began to take notice of the young Fautrier and he gained a reputation for himself that would last his entire career.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fautrier/Fautrier_VaseofFlowers1927.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Vase of Flowers, 1927</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Fautrier left Paris during World War II but returned after the war to begin painting again. Fautrier is probably best known for his painting series “Otages” (which means “Hostages”) that serve as a remembrance of the horrors of World War II. This series was well received at his 1945 exhibition and continue to be his leading trademark.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fautrier/Fautrier_Hostages.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Hostages</div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fautrier/Fautrier_TheExecuted1945.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Executed, 1945</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Besides being a painter, Fautrier also worked as a ski instructor as well as in the hotel and night club industry in the French Alps in the 1930’s. Hard times forced him to quit painting in the 1930s, so he supported himself any way he could. It would be a rare treat to find artwork created by Fautrier during this downtrodden time.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fautrier/Fautreir_Fish.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Fish</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Fautrier gained a great deal of notoriety as a painter early on and remained in the public eye until the end of his life. However, Fautrier’s success was mainly celebrated in France, and he was little known abroad. He won a number of awards like the Grand Prix International in 1961, and was the guest of honor at the 1960 Venice Biennial.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Baby Mine, 1947</div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fautrier/Fautrier_Imfallinginlove1957.jpg" alt="art" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">I’m Falling in Love, 1957</div>
