The work

The painter :

peintre-newBistes (1941-2020). Away from the posturing official culture, subversive of multidisciplinary arts, foreigner of media tendencies, Bistes led freely his career as a painter in his fortress of silence. After 60 years of a strict observation of nature, he was of the masters of French classicism. Common subjects of daily intimacy were covered without fear of banality, away from academicism, in interiority. The rigor of drawing was the thread of the message that explains the popular recognition that always accompaned him. In 1996, Gaston Diehl, president of Parisian art critics, described his work “haughty and unremitting.” “Original alliance of sophistication and violence”
