The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Albert Gabriel (1904-1997) a réalisé pendant sa retraite environ quatre cents statues représentant des thèmes ayant marqué toute sa vie et celle de ses contemporains. Il se rapproche du mouvement de l'art brut par l'utilisation de matériaux simples (ciment et sable) et accessibles à tous. Par la forme de ses créations, il se situe dans la continuité des naïfs. Il est le reflet de ces artistes de la province rurale dans la lignée du Facteur Cheval.

History
Albert Gabriel (1904-1997) created during his retirement approximately four hundred statues representing themes that marked his entire life and that of his contemporaries. He approaches the art brut movement through the use of simple materials (cement and sand) and accessible to all. By the form of his creations, he situates himself in the continuity of the Naïves. He is the reflection of these artists of the rural province in the line of the Facteur Cheval.
