Olivier, whose real name was Pierre-Marie Olivier, was born in Paris on May<sup>1,<\/sup> 1931. He was introduced to drawing and painting at an early age by his father, Ferdinand Olivier (1873-1957), a painter in the tradition of Post-Impressionism. After graduating in philosophy from the Sorbonne, Olivier O. Olivier entered the \u00c9cole Nationale Sup\u00e9rieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1954, at a time when informal art was gaining ground. He studied painting in Raymond Legueult&#8217;s studio, where he met Roland Topor, with whom he forged a deep friendship. Olivier O. Olivier is classically trained, ensuring technical mastery of his means of expression. At the Acad\u00e9mie de la Grande Chaumi\u00e8re, he also took drawing classes with Edouard Goerg, whose fantastic graphic universe is close to symbolism.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/galerie-institut.com\/en\/olivier-o-olivier-1931-2011-biographie\/\">Read the full biography. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; z_index=&#8221;500&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1400px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||1px|||&#8221; header_2_text_align_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_2_text_align_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_text_align_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;26px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; border_width_bottom=&#8221;1px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Discover other artists<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_menu menu_id=&#8221;264&#8243; menu_style=&#8221;centered&#8221; active_link_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; dropdown_menu_bg_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; dropdown_menu_line_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; menu_font=&#8221;&#8211;et_global_body_font|300||on|||||&#8221; menu_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; menu_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; menu_letter_spacing=&#8221;2px&#8221; background_enable_color=&#8221;off&#8221; text_orientation_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_orientation_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; module_alignment_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; module_alignment_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; module_alignment_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_menu][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;rgba(216,216,216,0.11)&#8221; global_module=&#8221;8808&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.9em&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;23px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/galerie-institut.com\/en\/contact\/\">Contact<\/a><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">To find out more about our <a href=\"https:\/\/galerie-institut.com\/a-propos\/\">art gallery in Paris,<\/a> the works available, our appraisal service or our exhibitions:<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6Ijg4NjYifX0=@&#8221; button_text=&#8221;contact us&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8221;button_url&#8221; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Olivier O.
