 he settled in Paris in 1945 in an apartment in the 17th Arrondissement. He entered the School of Fine Arts, then the Fernand LEGER workshop. He visited museums, increased his knowledge and began to exhibit in the capital in galleries and major exhibitions.
French and foreign collectors are interested in his work. The important dealer René-Georges GUIGNÉ distributed his work in France and overseas. From then on, group and personal exhibitions followed one another in Paris, in the provinces, and abroad. He participates in international events of the Jeune Ecole de Paris. The press presents his work, television films his paintings and his workshop. His career continues to ascend. Jean MINET, director of the Place Beauvau Art Gallery, took him into his group of painters.
In his first period, considered as a landscaper and marine painter, and without abandoning his poetic expression of nature, he devoted himself most often to the universalism of man and to the plastic beauty, the skilfully naturalistic vulnerability of woman. . A powerful visual artist, a fertile creator, through the evolution and style of his art, René Margotton with his original work, the creative style that is his own, has now achieved notoriety in Europe and across the Atlantic which rightfully belongs to him.
