Léon Gischia (Dax, Landes, 1903 - 1991) is a French painter who worked in Paris also with Le Corbusier and F. Léger on the decoration of the Pavillon des Temps Nouveaux (1937).
Gischia lived through three artistic phases: from 1917 to 1942 for figuration, from 1946 to 1960 for abstraction, from 1960 to his death for lively geometrization. Founding member of the Salon de Mai, he collaborated in the staging of about thirty installations plays and shows by Jean Vilar, taking care of the scenography and costumes, respecting his taste and compositional style, with the addition of surreal elements
The artist's artworks are featured in numerous major museums of modern art, including the Musée National d’Art Moderne and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. Many retrospectives were dedicated to him at the Paris Art Centre in 1985, the Galerie d’Art International in Paris in 1988, the Musée de Zagreb in 1988, the Musée de Borda in 1988, the Paris Art Centre in 1990. He also participated in the Venice Biennal in 1988.
