Jean Bréant (1922–1984) is a Norman painter and lithographer whose work sits within the Rouen School tradition, while asserting a singular voice. Born in Rouen on February 17, 1922, he reveals very early a double artistic vocation: music, which he studies seriously at the Saint‑Evode Mastery, and painting, which he discovers in childhood. If he reaches a concertist level, painting ultimately asserts itself as his true inner language.
Formed notably at the Rouen School of Fine Arts and influenced by the masters of Norman post-impressionism, Bréant develops a body of work where sensation takes precedence over strict representation. His canvases, often inhabited by expressive human figures, Norman landscapes or symbolic compositions, blend vigor of gesture with inner tenderness. He seeks less to reproduce reality than to reveal its emotional charge, drawing on his memories and a fertile imagination for themes with sometimes surprising variations.
Winner of the Prize of the Society of Norman Artists in 1961, he regularly exhibits and earns the esteem of his peers. His work, marked by great freedom and deep 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 Norman light.
