Guy de Rougemont

Guy du Temple de Rougemont, known as Guy de Rougemont, born 23 April 1935 in Paris and died 19 August 2021 in Montpellier, was a French painter, watercolourist, draughtsman and sculptor who spent much of his life between Paris and Marsillargues, in the south of France.

A multi-disciplinary artist, he sought to remove the boundaries between the arts, particularly between sculpture and painting, and worked in everyday places, squares and streets, as well as creating objects and furniture. His famous works include his ''Cloud'' table (1970), designed for the interior designer Henri Samuel (1904-1996), his ''Mise en couleurs d'un musée'' (1974), a temporary artistic intervention during which he covered the columns of the Musée d'art Moderne de la Ville de Paris with strips of coloured PVC, and his ''Environnement pour une autoroute'', in which he installed urban sculptures over 30 km along the La Veuve-Sainte Ménéhould section of the A4 motorway, France (1977).

A member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, he was the son of General Jean-Louis du Temple de Rougemont (1910-1990). Provided by Wikipedia
