“Water, paper and charcoal are the stuff of everyday life; and the flesh of painting is the magic that suddenly emerges. Without it, painting would be no more than a speech or a demonstration”.

About the author

Michel Haas (1934-2019)

Michel Haas was born in Paris in 1934. He studied philosophy before turning to the visual arts […] Michel Haas draws his inspiration from the world around him. Living in Paris, he paints life in the city: people captured in moments of life in scenes from everyday life, men, couples, cyclists, animals, men drinking, musicians, dancers, trees, flowers, everything that makes up life.
