My latest find on Gab comes from ‘Diane Shears’: “Michel Delacroix is a French painter in the “naif” style. Delacroix was born in Paris. He studied at the Lycee Louis-le-Grand. He has had one man shows as well as group exhibitions in Europe.” Born: 1933 (age 89 years) in Paris France. So he would have been coming into his own about 70 years ago in 1953.

“Michel Delacroix is a well known and easily recognizable artist who works primarily in a primitive style. His subjects include street scenes of Paris and other settings in the French countryside, primarily during the Nazi occupation, which he experienced as a child. Delacroix’s work combines structure and detail with rich color to convey the bustling, diverse activity of Paris and the quaint majesty of the French Chateaux.” – Renjeau Galleries dot com

Sometimes it makes sense when they say a “primitive” style, but with this guy? How so? Because its entertaining and fun its labeled “primitive”? Like that top piece? I think that’s just gorgeous! Anyway, I think he’s neat.
