Alain Pauzié
Alain Pauzié, born 9/28/ 1936
Alain is a wonderful French artist, and perhaps my father's dearest friend. My father and Alain shared a passion for playing rugby, and worked together at the Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique. Over the years Alain sent my father the most wonderfully illustrated envelopes, you can see some of Alain's mail art at the Musée de la Poste in Paris.
Alain became friends with Jean Dubuffet ,with whom he corresponded for many years, and Alain published a book of their letters in 1995. The illustrated envelopes are exhibited in the Collection Neuve Invention of Lausanne.

Wow! His work is fascinating! How cool to have him as part of your family's life!
What a privilege to know such an artist and even better have some of his work!
Oh wowowowowow. These are stunning.
AND Dubuffet. *heart*
The envelope at the top is my fav. How nice to have inspiration like this around when you were growing up.

Love Lulu & Deke to pieces--you too. Your W.S.
Linda, my father (Robert Kline) also played rugby with Alain Pauzie. We stayed with Alain and his family in the 70's when my dad was playing rugby there. Later, the Pauzie's visited us in Norwalk Ohio where Alain hand drew a mural on both walls of the stairway to the third floor of our house. I still have a pile of his artwork. He is an amazing artist. I found your site here through a Google search on Alain's name.
Sincerely,
Mike Kline
Linda, if you father was George Summerfield, then I knew him as well. My dad and he were on the same rugby team, and we went on the trip to Europe with him.
