Through his paintings, the viewer apprehends a beautiful and intense local breath, that of the Pays d’Auge and its immediate surroundings. Alain Tapié wrote about this: “Normandy is his locality, but we do not believe he remains prisoner of it. He subjects it to a perpetual questioning.” (Excerpt from the 1992 catalogue for the exhibition at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Caen).
A tireless worker, André Lemaitre followed a solitary and secret path, tracing, far from fashions, critics, and cities, the outlines of a vigorous and powerful body of work— landscapes and still lifes, portraits and bouquets, nudes and rivers— all his canvases speak of the obstinate quest of a man firmly anchored in the real, in this Norman land where one sinks, but where dreams cling to the gallop of the clouds. If the sun sometimes stops at the turn of a bouquet, it illuminates a body or a face, it is in a universe dominated by grays and greens that André Lemaitre has wandered with his talent, and a fervent melancholy like a character from Maupassant.
