French painter* Michel Delacroix is an acclaimed master of the Naïf tradition and one of the most popular and successful artists in the world today.
Artist Michel Delacroix studied at the Lycee Louis-le-Grand.
Delacroix was educated at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and spent years experimenting with several different painting styles until, at the age of 35, he began producing works in the Naïf tradition, his characteristic style.
Michel Delacroix was born in 1933 on the Left Bank, in the 14th Arrondissement of Paris. He started painting at the early age of seven just as the German Occupation of Paris began.
