John-Francis Lecoultre
Overview
Intro
Pastels
John-Francis Lecoultre arrived in Paris in 1925 after studying at the École d’Art de la Chaux-de-Fonds, where he began his career in the decorative arts. His career spanned both the capital and Switzerland, encompassing painting, sculpture, and mosaics. He worked alongside Ernest Biéler in Le Locle and Savièse (1934), and later his own creations adorned the porches of the churches in Les Brenets and Clarens. His work with pastels gained momentum. After the banks of the Seine and Brittany, Italy, Valais, and Lake Geneva became his sources of inspiration. A lover of Valais, the painter traveled throughout the Rhône Valley, fascinated by the shifting light on the mountain peaks and the splendor of the landscape’s colors.
