Gallery Luz 26 Specializing in the sale of abstract paintings and photographs in Saint-Jean-de-Luz

LUZ 26: a highly specialized art gallery

The LUZ 26 Gallery is in its ^5th year of opening. Located in the heart of SAINT-JEAN-DE-LUZ, next to the “BAR BASQUE” opposite the GRAND HÔTEL and the MADISON hotel, its exhibitions attract regulars, but also the attention of seaside strollers! LUZ 26 specializes in post-war ABSTRACT ART, also called
“LYRICAL ABSTRACTION”, this great pictorial movement carried by the young talents of the NEW SCHOOL of PARIS who flocked to the BEAUX-ARTS.

They were very numerous, coming from different countries, like some GI's who will stay in France in 1945 and make their studies and their career there: Bill PARKER, John-Franklin KOENIG, or JH LEVEE are present on the walls of LIZ 26! And if the great "tenors" of this Abstract Art, like Nicolas De STAEL, or Pierre SOULAGES have become untouchable museum artists , many artists had talent, creativity, and their oils, gouaches or watercolors will fulfill your expectations of collectors : thus it is the case of Oscar GAUTHIER, Jacques GERMAIN, Jean-Marie CALMETTES,
Paul CHARLOT, Louis NALLARD, …… and exceptional women like Maria MANTON, Jeanne COPPEL, or Natalia DUMITRESCO!

Galerie LUZ 26 still has 2 areas of predilection:

• COLLAGES, a delicate, difficult art, and you can dream with Arthur AESCHBACHER, the mysterious Anna SHANON, or

the very inventive Raymond PREAUX known as “the Agent”.

• Finally, PHOTOGRAPHY and numbered SILVER PRINTS from the end of the 2000s, with wonderful portraits of celebrities “printed” by Luc FOURNOL, or Jacques DENARNAUD…..without forgetting a detour to the frontons of the BASQUE COUNTRY, and the beautiful images of pelotaris by Polina JOURDAIN-KOBYCHEVA!

We look forward to showing you our collections soon!
