Born in Nice on September 15, 1938, and deceased on June 28, 2015, Claude Gilli was a pure product of the Nice school, which notably participated in the creation of the New Realism movement.

Claude Gilli was a truly committed artist who believed in Art, as demonstrated by the fact that on New Year's Eve 1962, he burned virtually everything he had made to date to mark his commitment to the artistic adventure.
