Georges Brunon (1925–2016) came from the French Central Massif and entered the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1947. In the Saint-Germain-des-Prés scene, he associated with painters of the abstract post-war generation, including César and Yves Klein. His painterly work is characterized by direct observation of nature; he also devoted himself to poetry. Exhibitions led him to Paris, London, Japan, and the USA; from 2006 to 2014, he regularly exhibited at the Galerie Lee in Paris, which hosted a retrospective in 2012.
