Biography of Jean Dewasne
Jean Dewasne was born in Lille in 1921. He is considered as one of the masters of constructive abstraction. In 1950 with Edgar Pillet, he sets up the abstract art workshop in Paris. After thorough classical and musical studies, Jean Dewasne registers at the Fine Arts Instituute in Paris where during two years he first goes around architect's studios before moving towards painting. His first exhibit takes place in 1941. Two years later, the artist realizes his first abstract artwork. In 1945, together with Hans Hartung, Nicolas de Staël, Serge Poliakoff and Hans Jean Arp, Deswane militates passionately for abstraction. In 1945, he is involved in the setting of the Réalités Nouvelles Show. Mostly in the seventies, the artist creates major works. In 1991, he is elected member of the Fine Arts Academy in Hans Hartung's seat. Jean Dewasne dies in 1999. He was 78.

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.
