This is the catalogue raisonné of Armand Merizon’s paintings and drawings. The catalogue documents more than 900 works of art. Newly rediscovered works are regularly added to the catalog after authentication and documentation.

Merizon’s artistic career began in 1927 when he was only seven years old. His mentor was a graphic designer who happened to be the father of his neighborhood friend. This relationship was validation and encouragement from an adult who shared Merizon’s passion for representing the world on paper and canvas. The artist pursued his artwork through the support of his community and family until the end of his life in 2010.
 
Armand Merizon was born to Dutch immigrants of French extraction in Kalamazoo, Michigan. When he was three years old, his family moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he spent his life focused on his artwork. He enjoyed forays to the Southwest, the East Coast, and Europe. His work has a wide range of subject matter, medium, and genre, and is found in many institutional and private collections.

In appreciation of the assistance and support provided to me as I pursued my goal to catalog and archive my father’s prolific amount of artworks, I would like to acknowledge Kim Smith, James Straub, Edgar O. Marty, Jenna Post, Muriel Zandstra and my sister, Aimé Merizon.
