André Bauchant

(French, 1873–1958)

André Bauchant was a French painter known for his naïve depictions of flowers, mythology, and landscapes. Working as a horticulturist and gardener, Bauchant painted in his spare time and became known along with Henri Rousseau and Camille Bombois as one of the most important self-taught artists in French history. “Bauchant's treatment of figures, frozen in attitudes indicating a certain awkwardness and as if enshrined in foliage, manifest a poetic and mysterious quality sometimes reminiscent of medieval paintings,” the art historian Nadine Pouillon wrote of his work. Born on April 24, 1873 in Château-Renault, France, he worked with his father who was a gardener until being called to serve in World War I. During his time in the military, Bauchant was trained as mapmaker after his skill at drawing was noticed by his superior officers. After he was demobilized in 1919, the artist returned to find his father’s nursery destroyed by the war, so he relocated to Auzouer-en-Touraine to find work as a farm laborer. Over the decades that followed, the artist exhibited at the Salon d’Automne, gained the patronage of Le Corbusier, and was commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev to design a set for Igor Stravinsky’s ballet. Bauchant died on August 12, 1958 in Montoire-sur-le-Loir, France. Today, his works are held in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and the Tate Gallery in London, among others.
