André Brasilier is a French painter and printmaker whose work is typified by a breezy lyricism, wherein real-life subjects are transposed into dreamlike settings. Brasilier’s images portray a peaceful world, with delicate compositional and color harmonies bathed in soft, cool light. He takes significant aesthetic and philosophical inspiration from Japanese prints, with his paintings often featuring pastoral scenes, musical instruments, the sea, women, and horses.

Les Deux Bouquets, exhibits Brasilier’s interest in portraying women and his appreciation for Japanese prints that provided him with a significant aesthetic and philosophical inspiration.

Born into an artistic family in 1929, Andre 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 such as 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 Hermitage Museum.

Born on October 29, 1929 in Saumur, France to an artistic family where both of his parents were painters, Brasilier attended the École des Beaux-Arts at the age of 20. He has had major retrospectives at both the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg and the Museum Haus Ludwig für Kunstausstellungen Saarlois in Germany. Brasilier continues to live in Paris, France.

Andre Brasilier, Les Deux Bouquets

Horses become the central points of his work because of their harmony with nature. The horse starts giving a sense of scale, by providing interesting dialogues with the proportions of the sea and sky. Brassier loves life,  and for him the horses become important vivid catalizators of delight, with their forms and their ardour.
