Jean Deyrolle

Jean Deyrolle is a contemporary painter French. He was born in 1911 with Nogent-sur-Marne and died in 1967 with Toulon.

Jean Deyrolle belongs to the young avant-garde which renews the Abstract art French starting from 1946.

He is registered at the school “Art and Publicity” with Paris in 1928, then starts to paint as an autodidact.

After a first figurative period influenced by Paul Sérusier and the Nabi S, it meets César Domela in 1942 with the gallery Jeanne Bucher. It will evolve then to a built abstraction (geometrical) and will be represented by the gallery Denise Rene, which organizes its first retrospective in 1966 to him.

It receives the price Kandinsky in 1946. This distinction opens to him the doors of the principal collective demonstrations of abstract art.

Jean Deyrolle worked much with Gordes (Vaucluse), which he discovers in 1947, and where he will involve many his friends (Schneider, Serge Poliakoff, Gilioli, Vasarely, Dewasne…).

He was professor with the Academy of Art of Munich starting from 1959.
