Bilder som delvis skall vara med páhyllning till Paul Hervieu

I am very sorry to say that

“Paul Hervieu”

is no longer with us in this world.

Paul Hervieu was like a father for me. I am very pleased that I have been honoured to be his friend. He opened many doors for me in the Art and Gallery Business.

It will never be the same fun for me and Mirja to travel to Nice since he is not any longer there in his

Galerie Hervieu.

On top of that,

Galerie Hervieu

is closed. I was crying when I was there the last time.

We, Mirja and I have so many good memories from the time we meet him in the Galerie. All the interesting painters and artist he introduced us to.

On this photo you can see Paul with one of “his” artist, the famous and well known Marchand des Raux.

We hade so many dinners with Paul and his wife Monique, together with his artists friends. Mirja and I become also friends with them and as result of this we had many exhibitions in our Galleri ESS in Sweden.

Mirja and I are very sorry that Monique (Paul’s wife) not was continuing his work. She was always with him on his exhibitions in Basel and many times even in Sweden. She has all the knowledge about how to run the Galerie Hervieu. In fact, the first time Mirja and I meet Paul and Monique Hervieu was in Sweden. They had an exhibition of James Coignard. We were buying one lovely oil painting and this is still in our private collection. This was in the middle of 1960. Paul hade exhibition every year in different towns in Sweden and we see him every year and was always buying some paintings of his different artists. Paul had a younger brother “Albert” having a Galerie Hervieu in “Saint-Paul-de-Vence”, where he and his family were living. Mirja and I meet him many, many times in that little village that is famous because Marc Chagall was living there. Also Theo Tobiasse and many more international known artists. I will be very happy if Monique Hervieu will reopen

Galerie Hervieu

Many of this great painters and big personalities have also passed away, and Mirja and I now feel that we do have the responsibility to carry on the extremely good work Paul Hervieu was doing. It is not easy but, I remember that, I promised Paul one time to do the best I can in gallery business, and I know that, thanks to everything I have learned from Paul Hervieu,

“I can and I will do it”

He has been my mentor and I will continue his work.

He was my teacher, and I will do everything I can, and go forward with his work in the world of art. This is the reason why Mirja and I now, very happy, pay homage to

Paul Hervieu

and open the Art Gallery business on INTERNET.

This

was the day.

Invited to a whole day and dinner in the house and studio of

Antoni Clave’

Thanks to our friend and Mentor in art – business

”Paul Hervieu”

We have a whole Sunday, from early morning to very late night. I have so many times been looking on all the interesting photos I was making in the studio and in his beautiful house. Paul told me later, that Clavé never let any photographer take photos in his studio. The studio is very private, for the artist and just a few friends only. Believe me when we say that we were very gratefully and it vas an unforgettable Sunday. Of course you believe me when I say that the house was full of famous art and antics. We will never forget that we have been invited to Clavé and his wife and that we had a lovely dinner together with them and all this thanks to our dear Mentor.
