Antoine de Margerie was born in 1941 in Cusset Died in 2005 in Paris After his childhood spent in Paris, then in Auvergne, during the war, Antoine de Margerie, lived first with his parents in the various diplomatic posts occupied by his father, Christian de Margerie, in Madrid, Washington, Rome then Berlin. From 1953, he completed his secondary studies up to the baccalaureate in letters which he obtained in 1959. Art was part of his environment: one of his uncles, Paul de Laboulaye (1902-1961), was a painter and plays a very important supporting role in his nephew's adolescence. He then pursued higher studies in literature and then the full cycle of studies at the École du Louvre to reassure the family environment knowing the risks of an artistic career. From 1964 he devoted himself entirely to painting. In 1972 he joined the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles committee. Declining the offer made to him to succeed Jacques Busse as president of the show, he was its treasurer from 1990 until his death. Antoine de Margerie's work has been shown in nearly twenty-five personal exhibitions: in multiple exhibitions or fairs such as the Venice Biennale, the Salon of New Realities, Greats and Young People of Today, the Salon de Mai , the Salon Comparisons, and more than a hundred group exhibitions in galleries, such as the exhibition of the “concrete art-constructed art” group or “Repères”. His works are present in several private and public collections in France and abroad.
