Yves GANNE (Nantes 1931-2019)

Yves Ganne was born in Angers on July 13, 1931. He was a student at the École des Beaux-Arts de Nantes, which he joined in 1946. In 1950, he moved to Paris to join Fernand Léger's studio.

He also received two major distinctions in 1950: the Young Painting Prize and the Menton City Prize.

His talent has been recognized by institutions since 1951, with two of his paintings acquired by the National Museum of Modern Art in Paris.

He regularly exhibits in Paris, notably at the Galerie Drouant-David (1954, 1958) and more recently at the Galerie Francis Barlier in Paris and Honfleur (1994, 2003, 2004). He also exhibits with the greatest, notably in 1954 with Bernard.

His work transcends French borders. As early as 1956, he was exhibited at the Galerie Arthur Tooth & Sons in London. His work was also shown in the United States: at the Cushman Gallery in Houston (1959), at the Van Diemen Lilienfeld Gallery in New York (1966), and then at the Dalzell-Hatfield Gallery in Los Angeles (1968). In Sweden, he was welcomed at the Borstahusens Konstforening Gallery in Landskrona Konsthall (1975).

Yves Ganne participated in numerous collective exhibitions: the Salon of Young Painting, the Salon of the École de Paris at the Galerie Charpentier (from 1954), the Salon of Painters Witnessing Their Time (1956), and also the first Paris Biennale in 1959.

His style, deeply rooted in the French figurative tradition, is distinguished by a personal vision of still life, female portrait, and genre scenes. He avoids all academicism by favoring a sensitive and balanced expression, where color plays a central role.

Since 1965, he has produced more than 250 original lithographic editions, distributed in France, the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, and Japan.

His works are now featured in prestigious public collections in France, notably at the Musée National d’Art Moderne – Centre Pompidou, the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, as well as internationally, such as at the museums of Cincinnati (Ohio), Seattle (Washington), and Edinburgh in Scotland.
