General info :
André François (born André Farkas on November 9, 1915 in Temesvár, Hungary, currently Timisoara in Romania - died on April 11, 2005 in Grisy-les-Plâtres in France (aged 89)) was a French painter, designer, poster artist, illustrator and sculptor.

André François was naturalized French in 1939. He trained with Cassandre. In the field of publishing, he illustrated books by Céline, Jacques Prévert, Jarry, Raymond Queneau, Boris Vian, François David (The Peace Pipe).
In the press field, he designed advertising campaigns for Télérama, Le Nouvel Observateur, Punch.
Since 1963, he has regularly contributed to the New Yorker and, for nearly 20 years, to the mental health magazine VST.

United by a complicity with Vincent Pachès for nearly 25 years, the text-image relationship they developed is expressed in Le Bestiaire , which the newspaper Le Monde published every week for a year, and was taken up in a work published by Seuil (Scènes de ménagerie). A major retrospective in 2003 at the Forney Library allowed us to take stock of the considerable importance of his work on paper.

He is buried in the cemetery of Grisy-les-Plâtres (Val-d'Oise).
