Through his paintings, the viewer apprehends a beautiful and intense local breath, that of the Pays d’Auge and its immediate surroundings. Alain Tapié notes on this: “Normandy is his locality, but we do not believe he is confined to it. He subjects it to perpetual questioning.” (Excerpt from the 1992 exhibition catalogue, Caen Museum of Fine Arts).
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 rooted in reality, in this Norman land where one sinks in, but where dreams cling to the gallop of the clouds. If the sun sometimes pauses 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 walked his talent, and a fervent melancholy like a character of Maupassant.
