Artist Biography
André Beaucé was a French painter born in Rennes. He was a pupil of the School of Fine Arts in Rennes and of the National School of Decorative Arts. He was also a pupil in the workshops of André Lhote and Simon, with Yves Brayer. He won the Abd-el-Tif prize in 1946 and was a regular at the Salon d'Automne. After having lived for several years in Algeria, and in particular at Villa Abd El Tif where he was a scholarship holder from 1946 to 1948, André Beaucé returned to France in 1949 and resumed his teaching at the Schools of Paris. His painting is then powerfully expressionist, free from any system. In the 1950s, we notice vigorous, uncompromising, intense portraits, captured in an almost caricatural way.
