Although he learnt painting with grandmother Marguerite Juille and the artist Léo Lotz, he studied science. In 1975, he entered the Institut national agronomique Paris Grignon. He painted there regularly and created with some friends the review Karamazov in 1977. [1] He graduated in 1980 with two specialities: political economy and ecology.
After one year in Algeria as a teacher, he began an engineering career at the Ministry of Agriculture, where he was in charge of an economic review. He became a mediator in industrial restructuring before teaching human resources and social issues at the Institut National Agronomique Paris-Grignon and at the Mines ParisTech.
In 1995, he began moving from engineering to painting and began to exhibit one year later. He focused on daily life of contemporaneous men and women (vicissitudes of sexuality, couples in crisis) and particularly, life at work. He is interested in the world of executives and in the weight of managerial speeches. In 2008, he began a series of imaginary portraits, dubbed “curriculum vitae”, mixing painting and inscriptions gthat point out a singularity or sum up a life in a few words. [2]
He wrote his first novel in 2011, 121 curriculum vitae pour un tombeau, winning a prize at the Festival of The First Novel in Laval, [3] and two years later, Précipitation en milieu acide. His literary texts are a continuation of his reflections about alienation at work. [4]
Lamalattie contributes to magazines ( Artension , Causeur, Écritique, etc.). His articles deal with periods of art history such as Caravaggisti and Academic art and art criticism.
Pierre Reverdy was a French poet whose works were inspired by and subsequently proceeded to influence the provocative art movements of the day, Surrealism, Dadaism and Cubism. The loneliness and spiritual apprehension that ran through his poetry appealed to the Surrealist credo. He, though, remained independent of the prevailing "-isms", searching for something beyond their definitions. His writing matured into a mystical mission seeking, as he wrote: "the sublime simplicity of reality."

Jean Messagier was a French painter, sculptor, printmaker and poet. Jean Messagier had his first solo exhibition in Paris at Galerie Arc-en-Ciel in 1947. From 1945 to 1949 the artist worked under the influence of Pablo Picasso, André Masson, Paul Klee and François Desnoyer, his professor at École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs in Paris. Messagier again was revealed to the public at an exhibition organized by Charles Estienne at the Galerie de Babylone in 1952, entitled "La Nouvelle École de Paris". The following year, Messagier deliberately broke away from his expressionistic form of Post-Cubism; his inspirations now focused on Jean Fautrier and Pierre Tal-Coat to develop a personal vision in which he renders "light...approached abstractly." Jean Messagier is often associated with Lyrical abstraction, Tachisme, Nuagisme, Art informel and paysagisme abstrait, though the artist himself had never accepted any labels, and had always refused the distinction between abstraction and figuration. From 1962 until the year of his death Jean Messagier exhibited in France and abroad, taking part in some major international events as a representative of new trends in French painting.
