Yves GANNE (Nantes 1931-2019) Yves Ganne was born in Angers on July 13, 1931. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts de Nantes, which he joined in 1946. In 1950 he moved to Paris to join Fernand Léger’s workshop. In 1950 he also received two major distinctions: the Prize for Young Painting and the Prize of the City of Menton. His talent was recognized by institutions as early as 1951, when 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 the Galerie Francis Barlier in Paris and Honfleur (1994, 2003, 2004). He also exhibited with the greats, including in 1954 with Bernard Buffet at the Visconti Gallery. His work transcends French borders. As early as 1956, he was shown at the 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), and at Dalzell-Hatfield Gallery in Los Angeles (1968). In Sweden, he was hosted at Borstahusens Konstforening at Landskrona Konsthall (1975). Yves Ganne participated in numerous group shows: 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 still life, female portraiture, and genre scenes. He avoids any academic stiffness 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 held in prestigious public French collections, notably the Musée National d’Art Moderne – Centre Pompidou, the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, but also internationally, such as in the Cincinnati Museum (Ohio), the Seattle Museum (Washington), and in Edinburgh, Scotland.
