Gérard Pons is a French engraver and poet born in 1928.
Numerous exhibitions have marked his career since 1971: in France but also abroad (Luxembourg, Brussels, Geneva). In 1989, he opened a workshop in Castellet (Var) where you can see and buy his creations directly.
As a poet and storyteller, he is the author of about forty collections published by various publishers (Derache, Les Cahiers de Garlaban, Clapas, la Courtine, les éditions de l'Arbre) where the marvelous is often linked to the love of nature. Let us quote, among other titles :
