Note: An early work showing the influence of Bernard Buffet.Yves Ganne was born in Angers, Anjou, France, July 13, 1931. Ganne studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts of Nantes and with Fernand Léger in Paris. He first received critical notice at the exhibition of the Prix de la Jeune Peinture in 1950, and was awarded the Prix de la Ville de Menton in the same year. He had his first Paris exhibition in 1954 at Drouant David's, where he exhibited again in 1957. He exhibited in London at Tooth and Son's and in several group shows in France and abroad. Ganne's vividly coloured landscapes and still life have been acquired by the French Government, the City of Paris, and the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris.
