A major painter of the Norman scene of the 20th century, André Lemaître established himself as one of the most prolific and sensitive artists of his generation. Born in Falaise in 1909, he developed very early an intimate relationship with landscape, light, and material, which he would continue to explore throughout a career of nearly 4,000 works.
A schoolteacher in Calvados until 1960, Lemaître pursued in parallel an exacting pictorial research. Influenced by Cézanne, then by Vlaminck, he gradually forged a personal language that critics would call abstract realism: a structured, framed painting where the construction of the motif matters as much as the emotion it conveys.
Based in Cesny-aux-Vignes, he devoted himself entirely to his work from the 1960s. His Norman landscapes — villages, orchards, rivers, heavy skies — reveal a rare poetic depth, while his still lifes and studio interiors bear witness to a meditation on silence, presence, and color. His work has regularly been shown in Paris, in Sicily, in the United States, and in 1972 he received the Gold Medal at the Salon des Artistes Français.
Today, André Lemaître’s work holds a central place in public Lower-Normandy collections: Caen, Honfleur, Bayeux, Vire, as well as the former André Lemaître Museum in Falaise, which was entirely devoted to him. His artistic legacy remains that of a painter deeply attached to his territory, capable of revealing the gravity, simplicity, and poetry of Normandy.
