Gérard de Palézieux
Gérard de Palézieux is a Swiss painter and engraver.
From the very beginning, Palézieux's vocation was to attempt to render, as closely as possible to his emotions, the spectacle of the world - landscapes, interiors, objects, flowers or fruit. A rare occurrence in his time, characterised by constant questioning of the status of art and representation, he was never shaken by fashions and persevered alone in the faithful translation of reality.
