Georges Gobo (San Francisco, 1876 - Rezé, 1958). French painter, illustrator, lithographer and engraver, member of the Society of French Painters-Engravers. In 1900, he moved to Angers and became a member of the Society of Friends of the Arts which invited him to exhibit his first works at its Salon of 1900. Georges Gobeau took the pseudonym “Georges Gobo” (or “Gobô”) . In 1907, he made his first etching on zinc plates. In 1908, he exhibited for the first time in Paris, at the Salon de la Société nationale des beaux-arts. Since then, Georges Gobo has participated in regional and national exhibitions. He moved to Paris in 1911. He exhibited his etchings and lithographs at the Galerie Georges Petit in 1916 and 1926, and his drawings and paintings at Bernheim Jeune in 1919 then at Durand-Ruel in 1925. Subsequently, Gobo travels to Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Spain and Morocco. However, it is in France between his homes in Douarnenez in Brittany and that of Angers in Anjou that he finds his artistic inspiration. He produced numerous lithographs, washes, drawings and paintings. He also goes to Saint-Jean de Luz and Auvergne, where he regularly speaks at the famous Murol School. A retrospective was dedicated to him in February-April 2009 at the Grand-Théâtre d'Angers.
