André Eugène Louis Chochon is a French painter born in 1910 belonging to two old Rennes families through his two parents, Marguerite Rey du Boissieu and René Chochon. From 1928 to 1930, André Chochon was first trained at the Beaux-Arts in Rennes, where he received instruction from Jules Ronsin. He then moved to Paris and graduated from the Ecole nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris where he was a student of Lucien Simon and Sabatté. He exhibited at the Société des Artistes Français in 1933. In 1938, he competed for the Prix de Rome and won the Second Grand Prix for a composition on the following subject: "You will earn your bread by the sweat of your brow." In December 1940, he received a grant from the Velasquez house, but was not able to go to Spain until after the end of the war (1946-1947). Deeply influenced by Soviet realism, André Chochon emphasized human effort and worker courage, as evidenced by the work he presented for the Prix de Rome. The trials of the war then marked both his palette and his subjects of inspiration. He also painted intimate subjects that gradually led him to rediscover a more optimistic inspiration. Little by little, Chochon's paintings were populated with young women with long hair biting cherries, harlequins and clowns. Poetic inspiration and calm colors ensure Albert Chochon a public success that has never been denied. His works are in the collections of the Georges Pompidou Center, the Réunion des Musées Nationaux (Museum of Fine Arts of Rennes), the ENSBA
