Bernard Cathelin (1919-2004) was a French Impressionist and Modern painter and a member of the School of Paris which included Picasso, Chagall, Matisse, De Buffet, Brianchon and others. Cathelin was famous for oil paintings and lithographs with a subtle richness of texture and colour; his three favorite themes were bouquets, landscapes, and portraits of women.
