  Biography of Charles Boggs

  American artist born in 1921, he became a museum director. Charles Boggs moved to Paris in the early 1950s. He decided, upon his arrival in France, to devote himself to painting. Not only did he paint, but he also produced a graphic work - notably serigraphs -. As soon as he arrived in Europe, he traveled to Italy with the abstract expressionist painter Stephen Pace (Orvieto, Rome, Naples, etc.), his friend. In Paris, he met and naturally became friends with many painters of the School of Paris, which was the great period of his career. A passionate and prolix artist, his first notebooks of abstract drawings allowed his friends, notably Edgard Pillet, to detect his personality as an exuberant inventor and colorist. He was a friend of the African-American painter Beauford Delaney who moved to Paris at about the same time as he did, in 1953.Charles (sometimes Charley) Boggs died in Cavaillon on October 26, 2010; he was 89 years old.
