Artist

André Beaudin

Sculpture

André Beaudin was a French painter and sculptor whose practice bridged cubism and abstraction during the early twentieth century. Active from the 1920s onward, he developed a distinctive formal vocabulary that moved between geometric reduction and organic form, working across canvas, stone, and bronze. His work occupied a measured position between the avant-garde movements of his era, maintaining a disciplined approach to color and compositional structure. Beaudin's career spanned five decades of sustained formal investigation, contributing significantly to the development of European modernism in the interwar and post-war periods.
