Yves Ganne was born in Angers on July 13, 1931. He was a pupil at the Nantes School of Fine Arts, which he joined in 1946. In 1950 he moved to Paris to join Fernand Léger's studio. He also received two major distinctions in 1950: the Young Painting Prize and the Menton City Prize. His talent was recognized by institutions as early as 1951, two of his paintings were acquired by the National Museum of Modern Art in Paris. He regularly exhibited in Paris, notably at Galerie Drouant-David (1954, 1958) and more recently at Galerie Francis Barlier in Paris and Honfleur (1994, 2003, 2004). He also exhibited with the greats, notably in 1954 with Bernard Buffet at Visconti Gallery. His work crosses French borders. As early as 1956, he was exhibited at Arthur Tooth & Sons Gallery in London. His work was also shown in the United States: at Cushman Gallery in Houston (1959), at Van Diemen Lilienfeld Gallery in New York (1966), then at Dalzell-Hatfield Gallery in Los Angeles (1968). In Sweden, he was welcomed at Borstahusens Konstforening Gallery in Landskrona Konsthall (1975). Yves Ganne participated in numerous group exhibitions: the Salon de la Jeune Peinture, the Salon de l’École de Paris at the Charpentier Gallery (from 1954), the Salon des Peintres Témoins de Leur Temps (1956), and the First Paris Biennial in 1959. His style, deeply rooted in the French figurative tradition, is distinguished by a personal view of still life, the female portrait, and genre scenes. He eschews any academicism, favoring a sensitive and balanced expression in which color plays a central role. From 1965 onward he produced more than 250 original lithographic editions, distributed in France, the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, and Japan. Today, his works are featured in prestigious public French collections, notably the National Museum of Modern Art – Centre Pompidou, the Paris City Modern Art Museum, but also internationally such as at the Cincinnati Museum (Ohio), Seattle Museum (Washington), and Edinburgh in Scotland.
