Gilles Sacksick (French: [ʒil saksik]; 31 August 1942 – 13 October 2025) was a French painter, engraver and lithographer.[1]
Life and career
[edit]Born in Paris on 31 August 1942, Sacksick took a particular interest in lithography from a young age, starting work in an intaglio store.[2] In 1967, he exhibited for the first time at the Galerie Dominique Halévy in Paris.[3] He dedicated much of his early career to painting, staying at the Casa de Velázquez in Madrid from 1979 to 1981.[2] His artistic themes explored landscapes, still life, and animals.[4][5] He was influenced by the masters of the Spanish Golden Age, particularly Francisco de Zurbarán.[2]
Sacksick was described by art historian Aude de Kerros as one of the primary influences of the modern classic movement.[6] In 2005, he founded the "Litho-Lissac" bookstore alongside Bruno Mielvaque, which focused on lithography and artistic books.[7] The Bibliothèque nationale de France conserved some of his stamps in their archives.[8]
Gilles Sacksick died on 13 October 2025, at the age of 83.[9]
