Jean Bréant (1922–1984) was a Norman painter and lithographer whose work belongs to the tradition of the Rouen School, while asserting a singular voice. Born in Rouen on February 17, 1922, he revealed very early a double artistic vocation: music, which he studied seriously at the Maîtrise Saint‑Evode, and painting, which he discovered in childhood. If he reached the level of a concert pianist, it is ultimately painting that asserts itself as his true inner language.
Trained notably at the École des Beaux-Arts de Rouen and influenced by the masters of Norman post-impressionism, Bréant develops a body of work in which sensation takes precedence over strict representation. His canvases, often inhabited by expressive human figures, Norman landscapes, or symbolic compositions, combine the vigor of the gesture with inner tenderness. He seeks less to reproduce reality than to reveal its emotional charge, drawing from his memories and from a fertile imagination, themes with sometimes surprising variations.
Winner of the Prix de la Société des Artistes Normands in 1961, he regularly exhibited and earned the esteem of his peers. His work, marked by great freedom and profound humanity, continues today to move through its sincerity and intensity. Jean Bréant passed away in 1984, leaving behind a rich, vibrant pictorial universe deeply rooted in the Norman light.
