Dauchot
was born at Gargan-Livry near Paris May 10, 1926. His father was an architect.
He began painting at age fourteen, encouraged by his parents. After attending
the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, he followed the advice of Yves Brayer and Othon
Friesz. He admires Utrillo and Soutine. His efforts and aims are for unity
and moderation, and after varying his techniques he tends to attach himself
to the pictorial "matière" which he incorporates into
his subjects. Above all, he wants to remain human. He has been defined
as a painter of tragic reality. In Paris he has exhibited at Cardo's and
at the Galerie Durand-Ruel; special exhibitions of his work have been
held in Los Angeles, New York, Geneva, Zurich, Basle. He is currently
experiencing tremendous success internationally and his piece have been
auctioned at auction houses throughout the U.S. and Europe and the prices
realized are a great tribute to one of the great artists of our time.
