Gaston HOFFMANN 1883-1977
is one of the most surprising painters of his generation.
From symbolism to classical portraiture, as good a colourist as he is a technician, he is also a poster artist, a caricaturist and also collaborates with the ceramist Daum in Nancy.

He does a lot of nudes with great sensitivity.

In 1925, the artist decorated the murals of the Kerhulu restaurant in Quebec City: La Faim et la Soif. These works are now kept at the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, thanks to a donation from Jean Piché in 1983.
From 1924 to 1926, he taught drawing and decorative composition at the École des Beaux-Arts de Québec.
