Andre Minaux Pochoir

Andre Minaux was a Contemporary French painter, draftsman, lithographer, engraver, illustrator and sculptor. He belonged to the illustrious School of Paris, to the Young Painting movement in the 1950s and then to the group of Painters Witnesses of their time. His search for perfection in his work was compared to that of Matisse by Jean Bouret. (Minaux, Sauret Editions, 1977). He belonged to the illustrious School of Paris, to the Young Painting movement in the 1950s and then to the group of Painters Witnesses of their time. André Minaux embraces several periods: naturalism, rural, baroque, figurative and non-figurative. It was through the power of his line that he imbuded his compositions with an inexhaustible energy. In the heart of the post-war period, his works captured a euphoric context in a French expressionist realism. “It's the rhythm that brings unity to a painting,” confides André Minaux. “You could call Minaux's approach in his search for perfection 'Matissian'. (Jean Bouret, Minaux painter, Sauret editions, 1977). In 1950 The Museum of Modern Art of the city of Paris acquired one of his paintings In turn, the Tate Gallery in London quickly followed suite. He took part in the 1948 Salon d'Automne with 'Le Raccommodeur de filets', a work hailed by a multitude of art critics. A year later, his work was crowned by the critics' prize and displayed his work at the Salon des Jeunes Peintres, at the Claude gallery on rue de Seine in Paris. He exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 1952 and continued to exhibit Internationally up until his passing in 1986.
