Biography of André Lhote
André Lhote was born in Bordeaux in 1885. He took classes at the Fine Arts School. First a sculptor, he then moved on to painting. As soon as 1912, the artist got closer to the cubist movement while keeping a tie to the so-called « classical » painting, turning down the abstract side of cubism. From thee beginning, André Lhote felt in synch with the « all decorative » trend of the « Art Nouveau » and all his life he will have a strong taste for decoration. His art was in line with modernity not as a break point but as a continuity in tradition. His point was to make painting intelligible but at the same time leave enough room for « emotional disorder ». Both theoritician and teacher, in 1925, he set up his school (Rue Odessa, Montparnasse) and organized summer camps for his students in his own house in Mirmande (Drôme). André Lhote wrote theoritical essays and art critic books. For many years he will be in charged of the art critic page in the New French Review (Nouvelle Revue Française). The artist died in Paris in 1962.

A tribute to André Lhote
Sorry this section is only available in french for now.
Quelques mois auparavant, André Lhote avait passé son dernier été près de son cher bassin d'Arcachon. L'artiste s'est éteint le 24 janvier 1962. Il repose dans le cimetière du Montparnasse à Paris. Sur sa tombe, un ange, reproduction de l'un de ses dessins. En son hommage, cette passiflore, fleur de la passion.
"On ne voit bien que lorsqu'on est ébloui." - André Lhote
"Le poète est celui qui tout au long de son existence conserve le don de s'émerveiller. " - André Lhote
"On s'étonne de voir des peintres obtus, insensibles aux nécessités de leur technique. [...] Peindre à l'aquarelle le même objet qu'à l'huile est une monstruosité. " - André Lhote
"Il y a dualité, combat chez André Lhote, d'un côté sa fougue de Méridional, sa sensibilité, et de l'autre, tenant ferme les rênes, tirant sur la bride, l'intelligence, calculatrice et tyrannique. Cette intelligence aiguë des choses de la peinture, servie par une grande connaissance des œuvres, qui, se coulant dans une langue pure, fit de lui, par ses articles de la Nouvelle Revue Française, à partir de 1917, et par ses livres, le critique et le théoricien qui eut entre les deux guerres le plus d'influence." - Jean Delaveze
"André Lhote ne se lance jamais tout à fait dans la nuit. L'analyse clarifie la voie. Il s'agit moins d'inquiéter que d'aider à mieux voir et comprendre le monde et la vie. C'est en cela que l'art d'André Lhote a voulu être un langage. " - Jacques Michel
"Une seule loi profonde, de tous temps, régit mes tentatives : la nécessité, pour l’œuvre accrochée au mur, de soutenir un rapport avec l’architecture intérieure, que cette architecture soit déterminée par la construction même de l'édifice ou par les lignes des meubles qui le garnissent." - André Lhote

Artists on display
The art and the artists display: proclamations, galleries, museums, personal or collective exhibitions. On walls or in shop windows, wise or rebels, posters warn, argue, show. Some were specially conceived by an artist for such or such event, other, colder, have only the letter.
Some were created in lithographic technic, most are simple offset reproductions. They are many those who like collecting these rectangles of paper, monochrome or in games of colours, in matt paper or brilliant, with many words or almost dumb.
We are happy also to be able to greet, by this pages, mythical galleries as those of Denise René, Louis Carré, Claude Bernard, Berheim Jeune, Maeght, Pierre Loeb and others.
