JEAN-ERIC GARNIER

(lives and Works at Eze-village, Cote d’Azur)

The value of Rudolph Steiner’s methods of education, based on artistic expression, is fully vindicated by the work of painter Jean-Eric Garnier. Garnier’s color and draughtsmanship show his affinity with classical traditions; his themes tend to the fantastic and surreal. In the sumptuously elaborated compositions by Garnier, we may, for example, encounter the gaze of some distant princess who seems to offer us her dream (in exchange for what realities we can bring ?).

Garnier is a romantic in the vein of Baudelaire : he summons passions, rêveries, furies.
