Amédée Ozenfant - Still Life, Dishes [1920]


Amédée Ozenfant (Saint-Quentin, Aisne, April 15, 1886 – Cannes, May 4, 1966) was a French cubist painter. He was born into a bourgeois family and was educated at Dominican colleges in Saint-Sébastien. After completing his education he returned to Saint-Quentin and began painting in watercolour and pastels. In 1904 he attended a drawing course run by Jules-Alexandre Patrouillard Degrave at the Ecole Municipale de Dessin Quentin Delatour in Saint-Quentin. He moved to London in 1936, where he set up the Ozenfant Academy of Fine Arts in May of that year, before moving to New York some two years later.
