Guy De Rougemont Biography
Guy de Rougemont studied at the Arts-Déco in Paris – notably in the studio of Marcel Gromaire – then stayed from 1962 to 1964 at the Casa de Velázquez in Madrid. He quickly participated in his first exhibitions, such as the 1965 Paris Biennial and the 1966 May Salon. He tries to remove the boundary between the arts, in particular sculpture and painting, and intervenes in places of daily passage, in squares and streets. Among his creations are those of the Saint-Louis hospital, the Marne-la-Vallée RER station, the forecourt of the Musée d'Orsay, the Hakone Open-Air Museum in Japan, or the Place Albert-Thomas in Villeurbanne, of the Hofgarten in Bonn, the metropolitan park of Quito in Ecuador, the reception and care center of Nanterre, where he created a 300 meter long mural, the sculptures of the A4 motorway between Châlon-en-Champagne and Sainte-Ménéhould . However, he continues to paint and is also a lithographer and designer. Widowed by the actress Anne-Marie Deschodt (1938–2014), he lived in Marsillargues.
