André Dignimont: 1891-1965
A decorator, illustrator, painter, engraver, and actor, he is, like Toulouse Lautrec, a notable figure in Montmartre.
And like Lautrec, he specializes in the despised: ordinary people, people from the underworld, streetwalkers, whom he treats without complacency but always with love and poetry.
He associated with the greatest while remaining accessible to the youngest.
He is renowned for his light prints devoted to feminine beauty.
His work depicts life in Montmartre.
