YVES GANNE (Nantes 1931-2019)
Yves Ganne was born in Angers on July 13, 1931. He studied at the Nantes School of Fine Arts, which he joined in 1946. In 1950 he settled in Paris to join Fernand Léger's workshop.
He also received in 1950 two major distinctions: the Young Painting Prize and the Menton City Prize.
His talent was recognized by institutions as early as 1951; two of his paintings were acquired by the National Museum of Modern Art in Paris.
He regularly exhibited in Paris, notably at Galerie Drouant-David (1954, 1958) and more recently at Galerie Francis Barlier in Paris and Honfleur (1994, 2003, 2004). He also exhibited with the greatest, notably in 1954 with Bernard Buffet at Galerie Visconti.
His work goes beyond French borders. As early as 1956, he was shown at Arthur Tooth & Sons Gallery in London. His work was also presented in the United States: at Cushman Gallery in Houston (1959), at Van Diemen Lilienfeld Gallery in New York (1966), then at Dalzell-Hatfield Gallery in Los Angeles (1968). In Sweden, he was hosted at Borstahusens Konstforening Gallery at Landskrona Konsthall (1975).
Yves Ganne participated in numerous group exhibitions: the Salon of Young Painting, the Paris School Salon at Charpentier Gallery (from 1954), the Salon of Painters Witnessing Their Time (1956), or the first Paris Biennial in 1959.
His style, deeply rooted in the French figurative tradition, is distinguished by a personal vision of still life, the female portrait, and genre scenes. He avoids any academicism by favoring a sensitive and balanced expression, where color plays a central role.
From 1965 he produced more than 250 original lithographic editions, distributed in France, the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, and Japan.
Today his works are housed in prestigious public French collections, notably the National Museum of Modern Art – Centre Pompidou, the Paris City Modern Art Museum, but also internationally such as the Cincinnati (Ohio), Seattle (Washington) museums, or Edinburgh in Scotland.
