A mountain painter, Lucien Quenard was born on December 9, 1902 and died in 1995. His studio was located at 13 Place de la Grenette in Grenoble, Isère.
Member of the Société dauphinoise des Beaux Arts and the Académie de Peinture du Dauphiné.
During the Second World War, in winter, he worked as an acrobat in Grenoble, performing as a clown, tightrope walker, dog trainer, santon maker and puppeteer with puppets of his own making.
Numerous exhibitions in leading galleries in Grenoble, Lyon and above all Paris (Galerie Duncan, Galerie Georges Petit, Galerie Raspail, Salon des Peintres de Montagne), as well as in the South of France (Galerie Arts et Reliefs in Nice), earned him a well-deserved reputation for his classically composed post-impressionist painting.
