Gisèle FERRANDIER was born in 1909 and lived for over a hundred years. Close to these artists who were called "poetic reality" or "The children of Matisse", such as Brianchon, Oudot, Cavaillès, Planson or L'égueulât whose works she owned, she was never officially part of the group and of their exhibitions, victim perhaps of the fact of being a woman (disability in the art world at the time and sometimes even today!) and especially of her numerous travels from which she brought back many paintings whose style gradually evolved from a "classic" 1930 to abstraction, passing through these blazes of color serving, for example, his landscapes of Morocco, Spain or the South or his dazzling still lifes. Her works are present in many museums and major collections and she was crowned with a retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris in 1970.
