André Le Glatin (1935–2020) was a Parisian painter, passionate and prolific, whose unique creative approach sits at the heart of 20th‑century art. Based in his Corbeil-Essonnes atelier for life, he developed a distinctive pictorial universe, navigating with ease between expressive portraits, landscapes and decidedly abstract compositions. His talent allowed him to exhibit at the prestigious Cité internationale des arts in Paris in 2007. Marked by major influences, his work unfolded within the aesthetic current of emblematic artists such as Jean-Michel Folon, Gaston Chaissac and the architect Le Corbusier. He also had the privilege of rubbing shoulders with great figures of modern art by exhibiting his creations alongside the famous sculptors Arman and Yves Tinguely. Using various media such as oil on canvas, gouache and marker on paper, he liked to explore dreamlike themes through works with evocative titles like The Walk of the Century or his series of Fantasmagorical Districts. His artistic legacy, long preserved by his descendants, bears witness to a constant search for geometric shapes and vibrant colors.
