Yves Ganne Portrait Prints

Yves Ganne was born in Angers, Anjou, France in July of 1931. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts of Nantes and with Fernand Léger in Paris. Ganne first received critical notice at the exhibition of the “Prix de la Jeune Peinture” in 1950 and was awarded the Prix de la Ville de Menton in the same year. He is listed in the French-language Benezit Dictionary of Artists as School of Paris. Ganne had his first Paris exhibition in 1954 at Drouant David's, where he exhibited again in 1957. He exhibited in London at Tooth and Son's and in several group shows in France and abroad. Ganne's vividly colored landscapes and still life pieces have been acquired by the French government, the City of Paris and the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris.
