Roland MICHENET (1945-1974), born in Paris on June 17, 1945, trained at the École des arts décoratifs and the École des métiers d'arts, where he learned stained glass. In 1967, he exhibited at the Karl Flinker gallery in Paris and in 1968 at the Fondation Maeght in Saint-Paul-de-Vence. His work was also shown in New York in 1969 at the Cordier-Ekström Gallery, as Daniel Cordier was fascinated by this dazzling creator, involved in a totally renewed search for expression. a totally renewed search for expression, in terms of techniques, media and formats. Prematurely deceased in 1974 at the age of 29, this pop-culture meteor remains little known (only a handful of his works are included in the Daniel Cordier Donations).
