A Figure of modern art, Jean Miotte is a French painter: his personal abstraction places him on the border between informal art, tachism and lyrical abstraction.
The creation of a Jean Miotte Foundation in Fribourg, responds to a wish expressed during his lifetime, accompanied by Dorothée Keeser, with the aim of promoting his work in France and abroad.
Due to unforeseen events, it was moved to the cultural district of Chelsea in New York in 2003.
“When you succeed in imposing yourself in New York, you impose yourself in the world” J. Miotte
The foundation organizes meetings, art critics, museum curators and exhibition curators.
It also provides a service of expertise and authentication of the artist’s works.

In the summer of 2004, Jean Miotte welcomed me to his estate in Pignans, in the Var region of France. A major artist and icon of French painting in the second half of the 20th century, this exceptional figure of the lyrical abstraction movement – with its endless variations – captured movement as the very essence of life. After crossing a pine forest with its intoxicating fragrances, the studio appeared in a rare display of dynamic, sonorous and colourful flamboyance.

“Jean Miotte fit perfectly into the artistic context of the second half of the 20th century where movement became important in painting with Lyrical Abstraction, Action Painting, Kinetic Art, Abstract Expressionism, performance and so on.
