C1950 A Stylish Oil on Canvas by Michel Cadoret


A student of Luc Simon at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Michel Cadoret began exhibiting at the Salon d'Automne and Salon des Tuileries in 1935.
During the war, he joined the FFL in North Africa, then moved to London where, in 1944, he worked for the Commission de restitution des œuvres d'art, before taking part in the Normandy landings. He forged close ties with the Anglo-Saxon world, making him the most New York of French painters.
In 1958, he moved to New York, took part in the traveling exhibition "France Come to You", and then moved to Mexico. His studio in Erongaricuaro became a rallying point for European and American Surrealists, with Breton, Matta, Paalen, Varo and Carrington all staying with him. He still painted figuratively, but was increasingly influenced by the art of the Mexican Indians, whose tapestries he exhibited in New York.
Until 1963, back in New York, he worked intensively on form and color, incorporating the impressions he had gathered on his travels into his painting. His research and the place he occupied on the New York scene made him the equal of Motherwell, Pollock, Rothko and Kline.
The figure of the concentric circle became predominant in his work, with the use of pure tones.
His work has been exhibited at "the contemporaries" gallery and the Chalette gallery in New York, at the Fürstenberg gallery, the Creuze gallery and the Charpentier and Kaganovitch galleries in Paris.
In 1974, a retrospective exhibition was held at the Musée de Saint-Germain en Laye.
