André Lanskoy (1902–1976) was an artist associated with the École de Paris and an important figure in post-war abstraction. Beginning with figurative painting, he gradually developed a distinctive abstract language built from interlocking shapes, rhythmic movement, and expressive colour.
Lanskoy worked across painting, gouache, collage, tapestry, and printmaking, producing numerous lithographs that reflected the vitality of his larger compositions. His works are characterised by layered forms and vibrant colour relationships, creating a strong sense of movement, depth, and visual harmony. His distinctive approach secured his lasting place in twentieth-century abstract art.
