ANDRE MINAUX (1923-1986) was a French abstract painter and print maker best known for his stylized social realistic works. Minaux studied under the great Maurice Bianchon at L’Ecole National Superieure des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. Minaux combined contemporary life and historical references with abstract compositions. Throughout his career, Minaux had an ongoing theme of depicting women in interior spaces, however over his career his work got continuously more abstract. He was influenced by Picasso. less
