Yves Ganne was born in Angers on July 13, 1931. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Nantes, which he joined in 1946. In 1950 he moved to Paris to join Fernand Léger’s studio. In 1950 he also received two major distinctions: the Prix de la Jeune Peinture and the Prix de la Ville de Menton. His talent was recognized by institutions as early as 1951; two of his paintings were acquired by the Musée National d’Art Moderne in Paris. He regularly exhibited in Paris, notably at the Galerie Drouant-David (1954, 1958) and more recently at Galerie Francis Barlier in Paris and Honfleur (1994, 2003, 2004). He also exhibited with the greats, notably in 1954 with Bernard Buffet at Galerie Visconti. His work transcends French borders. As early as 1956, he was shown at Arthur Tooth & Sons Gallery in London. His work was also presented in the United States: at Cushman Gallery in Houston (1959), at Van Diemen Lilienfeld Gallery in New York (1966), then at Dalzell-Hatfield Gallery in Los Angeles (1968). In Sweden, he was welcomed at Borstahusens Konstforening’s Landskrona Konsthall (1975). Yves Ganne participated in numerous group exhibitions: the Salon de la Jeune Peinture, the Salon de l’École de Paris at the Galerie Charpentier (from 1954), the Salon des Peintres Témoins de Leur Temps (1956), and the first Paris Biennale in 1959. His style, deeply rooted in the French figurative tradition, is distinguished by a personal vision of the still life, the female portrait, and genre scenes. He avoids any academicism by favoring a sensitive and balanced expression where color plays a central role. From 1965 he produced more than 250 original lithographic editions, distributed in France, the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, and Japan. Today his works are in prestigious public collections in France, notably at the Musée National d’Art Moderne – Centre Pompidou and the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, but also internationally, such as in the Cincinnati Museum of Art (Ohio), the Seattle Art Museum (Washington), and Edinburgh in Scotland.
