Note: Quillery’s interest in abstraction began in his youth when he was an apprentice to the great stained glass artist Max Ingrand. Whilst working with Ingrand, Quillery became a secret painter refusing to exhibit or sell his paintings and keeping them locked away at his workshop in Melun. His works are characterised by the juxtaposition of contrasting forms, simple, often borrowed from Cubism, serving a very strong symbolism.
