My long black and coloured journey

Book excerpt: Through the life course of François Boucheix, follow the route of one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. Born in 1940 within a peasant family, down the Monts d'Auvergne, he will not stop inventing and reinventing worlds representing this theme and his bestiary. The atypical destiny forged by the work and the chance encounters will lead the artist to exhibit his works all around the world. François Boucheix will affirm his style recognizable among all throughout a career of more than 50 years during which he has imagined, dry brushed, resumed and finished more than 3,000 paintings.
