Claude ROUTIER :femme du,Sud faisant la sieste.pastel gras -55.5x35.5 cm framed67.5x52.5.....le Parcours,If you come to Sète by train, take the time to look at the painting in the station concourse, "Le génie de la gare" by Claude Routier. Claude Routier was born on March 12, 1943. "He was from Sète, as one might say from France, and was astonished to be asked where it was" (Anne Marie Routier). He didn't leave his hometown until the age of 27 to pursue a career in the French education system. He wanted to be a pediatrician, but became a physical education teacher, not because he wanted to, but because he needed to earn a living. At the age of 20, he received a box of paints as a gift: "it was the decisive, one-way entry into painting" (AMR). His first solo exhibitions took place in the 70s. At the age of 41, he gave up his teaching career to devote himself exclusively to painting... and writing, for "he wanted his paintings to read like books" (Didier Vesse). This "magician of images and poet of colors" (Marie Van Hamme) put down his brushes in November 1999 at the age of 56, as his wife says, "I suspect he took his leave in November, so as not to have had to celebrate the arrival of the year 2000 Claude ROUTIER Personal Exhibitions Corconne Oil Mill, 1973 Galerie Mirage, Montpellier Musée Olivier Brice-Viols le Fort Galerie Alphonse Daudet, Montpellier Club de la Presse, Montpellier Musée de Bédarieux Bois Colombes 1987,1993 Galerie Les Calades, Avignon Minoterie de Mont de Marsan 1987, 1989, 1991 Galerie Michel Zeller, Tarbes, 1987 Espace Gambetta, Carcassonne, 1988 Galerie le Chat de Pique, Sommières Galerie Boismain-Vesse, Montpellier Salle Gravero, Le Pradet Théâtre de la Mer, Sète, 1991 Galerie Marine Brasseur, Reims Musée Fleury, Lodève, 1992 Galerie Didier Vesse, Aigues Mortes, 1998 Midi Libre, Montpellier, October 1999 Abroad Fine Art Gallery, Brussels, 1984 Galerie Aturiale, Liège Institut Français de Madrid, 1990 Maire d'Encamp, Andorra Collectives Rome, 1974 Salon d'Automne, Paris, 1974 1er Salon de peinture de la ville de Montpellier Galerie Paris-Orly Sud Galerie La Mandragore, Paris INTERARTE, Valencia, Spain Heidelberg Mairie d'Unterschleisseim-Munich Galerie Jean Claude David, Grenoble Galerie l'œil du Taureau, Uzès Espace Jacques Cœur, Montpellier Brasserie du Dôme, Montpellier Galerie des Arènes, Nîmes Les 5 génies de la gare de SETE
