ANDRE VIGNOLES
French, b. 1920
André Vignoles is a painter of still lifes and portraits, but is best known for his representations of the landscape. During the 1940s, Vignoles studied painting in Paris and frequently submitted his works to the Salon d’Automne where he was a member of the Council. Between 1951 and 1959, he exhibited his works in Paris at the Salon au Jeunes Peintres. He died in 2017.
The Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile is one of the most famous monuments in Paris, France, standing at the western end of the Champs-Élysées at the centre of Place Charles de Gaulle, formerly named Place de l'Étoile—the étoile or "star" of the juncture formed by its twelve radiating avenues. The location of the arc and the plaza is shared between three arrondissements, 16th (south and west), 17th (north), and 8th (east). The Arc de Triomphe honours those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, with the names of all French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces. Beneath its vault lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I.

André Vignoles
Andre Vignoles was born in the southwest part of France on August 5, 1920. He followed a course of classic studies but was attracted to drawing at an early age and gave much of his time to it. Vignoles began to paint with a student of Flandria, one of the first Fauves, who studied in the atelier of Gustave Moreau. As he continued his study of painting, Vignoles was attracted by the art of Cezanne, Van Gogh and the Primitives of the 15th century. In 1945, Vignoles married and moved to Nice but shortly went to live at Vallauris, where he worked in ceramics to earn his living, though his spare time was devoted completely to painting. It was in 1945 that Vignoles first met Pierre Bonnard. Bonnard gave the young artist both advice and encouragement, and in particular, urged him to go to Paris. Vignoles moved to Paris in 1946. Two years after he moved to Paris, he began to exhibit at the Salon d'Automne. In 1950, he became a member of the Salon des Indépendants. In 1951, he exhibited in the Salon des Jeunes Oeintres, of whose committee he was later elected a member. In 1952, the French State made its first purchase of one of his paintings, in succeeding years others were purchased both by the French State and the City of Paris.
