 Known for his landscape paintings, especially in winter, he has also produced lithographs used for book illustrations.
Bernard Gantner was born in Belfort, France in 1928, into a family originally from the Alsace region. With the encouragement of his family, in particular his grandfather, Gantner started drawing a very young age. He went to Paris to study at the School of Fine Arts and returned home after a year. His career as a painter gained momentum in the 1950's and in 1961 Gantner won the Critic's Prize for his work. Since then, he has had numerous exhibitions in France and abroad.
