Welcome to an exploration of the life and works of Paul Fontaine Paul Fontaine, American and expatriate abstract expressionist painter 1913-1996. The Fontaine archive was founded in 1999 to share with the world the immense richness and depth that Paul Fontaine expressed through his painting that spanned three countries: United States, Germany and Mexico and almost the entire 20th century". The intent is to provide a site for the many collectors of his work to learn the background and extent of his vast oeuvre of over 700  paintings. You will find biographical details, complete list of exhibitions, other works similar to your own, an index of his  contemporary artists and collectors (including original photos) with links to other sites and a reference point that you can consult when you need to authenticate the work. The Archive is attempting to complete a directory of the collectors. We only know of about half of the owners. If you are an owner of a Fontaine painting that you may or may not see on this site, please correspond with us.
