André Brasilier (b. 1929)
French post-impressionist artist André Brasilier is the son of the artist Jacques Brasilier, and was born in Saumur in 1929. In 1949, Brasilier commenced studying under Maurice Briancon at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He was awarded the Prix Florence-Blumental in 1952, and the Grand Prix de Rome in 1953. Following this, he spent three years living at the Villa Medici in Rome -a privilege extended by the French Academy to prize-winners until 1968. André Brasilier's world is a peaceful, carefree one, with delicate harmonies bathed in light. He is inspired by pastoral scenes, music, the sea, elegant women, and horses in particular for their beauty and empathy with nature: "I love life, and horses with their forms and their ardour, delight and intrigue me."
