PAINTING "DOUCEURS" by Hugues MINDER, known as HUGO (1950) Oil on canvas, signed lower left. Titled and stamped by the artist on the back of the stretcher. Dimensions: approx. 60 x 73 cm. Good condition Hugo Minder was born on November 23, 1950, in the Vosges region and moved to Clermont at the age of 19. He became an amateur painter at age 30; highly figurative in this early period, using monochromatic tones, he was concerned solely with capturing the likeness of his subjects—red chalk portraits, sepia still lifes, and blue ink landscapes. He enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts in Beauvais in the studios of L’Orme and Guidi, whom he met in 1999. He participated with them in outdoor painting sessions with models, working on scenes lit by candlelight—a process that required working very quickly, as the light and the play of shadows changed rapidly as the wax melted. He continued his training in Paris under the master pastel artist Jean-Pierre Merat, who introduced him to Paul Ambille. The latter provided him with the foundations for a style characterized by greater freedom of gesture, interpretation, and creation. He won numerous awards, particularly at the Oise art fairs, where he is well known. He found himself on the threshold of figurative abstraction and became capable of exploring concepts such as “voluptuousness,” “madness,” “metamorphosis,” and “symphony.” He has painted outdoor murals, such as on the transformer on the road to Etouy, in Fitz-James, Rémérangles, and the Lieuvillers community center, as well as indoor murals, such as at the Dojo in Clermont and St. Germain-en-Laye. He has exhibited at the Grand Palais in Paris and at the Artitude, Hugues Capet, and Thuillier galleries, and collaborates with UNESCO on a partnership between French and Japanese schools. - 1995: attended portrait classes at the Atelier de l’Orme. - 1999: Worked with GUIDI. - 2001: Enrolled at the Beauvais School of Fine Arts. - 2004: Studied under master pastel artist Jean-Pierre MERAT in Paris. - 2007: Paul AMBILLE gave him creative freedom to explore the theme of words.
