An Oil On Canvas, Bord De Marne By André Planson
Artist: André Planson
André PLANSON ( 1898-1981)
André Planson was one of the leading exponents of 20th-century French figurative painting.
A student at the Académie Ranson in Paris, he made his mark in the 1920s with a clear, luminous and poetic style, close to the "Poetic Reality" movement, which brought together a number of painters committed to figuration and the simplicity of everyday life.
Recognized by institutions, he took part in the Venice Biennale (1938), created mural decorations for the Palais de Chaillot (1937) and several French liners, and was made a Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur (1949). He was elected to the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1960
His landscapes of the Marne, nudes and still lifes are distinguished by a vibrant palette, a free touch and a serene harmony, halfway between the Fauvist heritage and a sensitive observation of nature.
Refusing abstraction, Planson defended a simple, joyful and profoundly French style of painting throughout his career.
A museum in La Ferté-sous-Jouarre today preserves an important part of his work, witness to a luminous and lyrical painting, celebrating nature and the simple beauty of everyday life.
