Jean Bréant (1922–1984) is a Norman painter and lithographer whose work belongs to the Rouen School lineage, while asserting a distinct voice. Born in Rouen on February 17, 1922, he revealed early on a double artistic vocation: music, which he studied seriously at the Maîtrise Saint‑Évode, and painting, which he discovered in his childhood. Although he achieved concert pianist level, painting ultimately asserts itself as his true inner language.
Trained notably at the Rouen School of Fine Arts and influenced by the masters of Norman post‑impressionism, Bréant developed a body of work where sensation takes precedence over strict representation. His canvases, often inhabited by expressive human figures, Norman landscapes, or symbolic compositions, blend vigor of gesture with inner tenderness. He seeks less to reproduce reality than to reveal its emotional charge, drawing on his memories and a fertile imagination for themes with sometimes surprising variations.
Winner of the Prix de la Société des Artistes Normands in 1961, he regularly exhibited and earned the esteem of his peers. His oeuvre, marked by great freedom and profound humanity, continues today to move with its sincerity and intensity. Jean Bréant passed away in 1984, leaving behind a rich, vibrant pictorial universe deeply anchored in Norman light.
