One hundred years that his life was punctuated by art. François Bernadi, born February 16, 1922 in Collioure died on Wednesday July 27 in Perpignan.
He, who was born into a family of fisherman-winemakers, dedicated his life to the arts. But not only.
Spotted in the 1950s by the writer Albert Camus, he published his first novel sun street (Gallimard). The first of a long line that will be translated into English and German. Spent a time writing the Dépêche du Midi, as a draftsman, he turned to painting, church decoration and the restoration of religious paintings.
