Born in
Paris on 31 August 1942, Sacksick took a particular interest in lithography from a young age, starting work in an
intaglio store. In 1967, he exhibited for the first time at the Galerie Dominique Halévy in Paris. He dedicated much of his early career to painting, staying at the
Casa de Velázquez in
Madrid from 1979 to 1981. He was influenced by the masters of the
Spanish Golden Age, particularly
Francisco de Zurbarán. In 2005, he founded the "Litho-Lissac" bookstore alongside Bruno Mielvaque, which focused on lithography and artistic books. The
Bibliothèque nationale de France conserved some of his stamps in their archives. Gilles Sacksick died on 13 October 2025, at the age of 83. ==References==
