PIERRE BURAGLIO
BIOGRAPHY
Pierre Buraglio, born on 4 March 1939 in Charenton-le-Pont, is a French painter, drawer and lithographer. He studied at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, and attended various Parisian art institutions from an early age, including the Louvre and the Salon d'Automne. He discovered both classical painting and the contemporary art of the 1950s and 1960s.
This is reflected in his work, which combines contemporary pictorial practice with explicit references to more ‘historical’ art.
