Jean Leppien was born in Germany (Lüneburg) in 1910. He was all together a painter, a lithographer and an illustrator. He died in Paris in 1991. He got the French naturalization in 1953. The artist began drawing in 1927. He studied to the School of the Bauhaus (Dessau) in 1929 and his teachers were Albers, Klee and Kandinsky. In Berlin (1931-32), he worked with Moholy-Nagy and learnt photography . . .
