A painter from Nantes
Jean Bruneau, painter born in La Baule on 3 September 1921has left his mark on the art world with his versatile talent. His artistic career began with studies at the Beaux-Arts in Nantes, where he quickly won distinctions, including the city's Grand Prix de Peinture in 1942. His regular exhibitions at the Bourlaouën gallery in Nantes and his participation in international art events consolidated his reputation. In 1974, a retrospective exhibition at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Nantes underlined his artistic importance, with the museum purchasing one of his works.
