“Born September 29, 1902 in Versailles, into a family of magistrates and jurists, Jean Billecocq departed from the family tradition by moving towards agriculture. Engineer in agronomy, his training and his love of nature led him in1928 to run a farm near Blois. It was from 1948 that he felt the need to paint. Four years later, shortly after his arrival in Nantes, his meeting with Louis Ferrant, professor of the School of Fine Arts, was decisive. Jean Billecocq found in Louis Ferrant an advisor and a friend who led him towards a restful artistic approach. on reflection. Sincerity and effort. Thus emerged in a kind of freely accepted rigor the form of expression which remained his, a painting remaining quite close to nature, however marked by a tendency towards geometry and space. "
