Papillon Gallery specializes in European and American paintings and sculpture from the period 1890-2015, with emphasis on the School of Paris. Modernist figurative works that capture the ambiance of the period are our particular focus. Our book “Modern Figurative Paintings: The Paris Connection” documents many of the artists we handle. A follow-up book, "Modern Figurative Paintings: Paris and The Modern Spirit" is now available. We opened our first gallery in Los Angeles in 1972.
