Anne Bachelier (born 1949) is a French surrealist artist. The artist studied art and painting from 1966 to 1969 at the École des Beaux-Arts, La Seyne-sur-Mer, and then studied engraving from 1974 to 1975 in a print workshop in Valence (France). Since 1989 she has begun exhibiting her works in France and the United States. Her paintings are executed in a distinctive surrealist style that sets her apart from other artists, making her works easily recognizable. Since 1989 she has regularly participated in international visual arts exhibitions and since 1992 has collaborated with CFM Gallery (New York, USA). For more than twenty-five years, Anne Bachelier has been portraying fantasies and dreams on canvas. Her reputation as an artist has been established through numerous international exhibitions in which Anne Bachelier participated with her ever-growing gallery of magicians, chimeras, and other mythical beings. Anne Bachelier is a wonderful book illustrator; she has illustrated “The Phantom of the Opera / La Fantôme de l'Opéra”, “Alice's Adventures in Wonderland / Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There”, and “The Princess of Wax”, and these works became an event in the art world and were rated by critics with the highest praise. “The Princess of Wax” is a biographical book about the Marquis Louise Casati—a cult figure on a European scale in the first third of the 20th century.
