Interview of André Brasilier in his workshop

Born into an artistic family in 1929, Brasilier has spent more than half a century creating canvasses that are a blend of abstraction, expressionism, and something distinctly his own. His works often feature themes and motifs like horses, nature, music, and women. Brasilier’s art is known around the world, from Japan to the United States. He was recently the subject of an exhibition/retrospective at St. Petersburg, Russia’s renowned Hermitage Museum. The Net Cristal team caught up with him to find out about his views on art, inspiration, and what’s going on next in his busy calendar of events.

Biography of André Brasilier

"I do not seek the truth, I paint as I like with the colors I like."

André Brasilier was born in 1929 in Saumur, Maine-et-Loire, to artist parents. His father Jacques Brasilier was close to the Nabis movement while his mother Alice Chaumont was a graduate of the Royal College of Art in London. The young boy spent his childhood in the family manor of Meigné-le-Vicomte and entered the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts in 1948 where his master was Maurice Brianchon.

BRASILIER, Andre (1929)

Andre Brasilier was born in Saumur, France in 1929; the son of two painters. His father Jacques Brasilier is a Symbolist painter, close to the Nabis.

In 1949, he began his formal artistic education at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris where he studied under Maurice Briancon.

In 1952 he was awarded a Prix Florence-Blumenthal and in 1953, he was awarded a Grand Prix de Rome. Following his trip to Rome he spent three years living at the Villa di Medici sponsored by the French Academy.

Seeking harmony between plastic construction and emotion, drawing inspiration from life, he defined himself as a “transfigurative” painter: according to him, painting is above all a transfiguration of reality and non-realism.

Andre Brasilier’s dreamy, surreal canvases have appealed to international audiences for decades. Drawing from modern European art movements and Japanese prints, Brasilier has achieved his own widely-appealing unique style. Often inspired by music, Brasilier uses color to create a harmony on the canvas. The surreal landscapes
