André Rouveyre

ByKaren Posted on Updated on Art Gallery

~ 1879 – 1962

André Rouveyre was an early twentieth-century French writer, caricaturist, and graphic artist. A member of several culturally elite circles of his day, he is perhaps equally remembered as the subject of drawings by prominent European artists Henri Matisse and Amedeo Modigliani.

Having met Matisse in Gustave Moreau’s atelier in 1896, the two would continue a lifelong friendship that included hundreds of letters of published correspondence as well as collaboration on such works as Repli (1947) and Apollinaire (1953).

Rouveyre’s own drawings show a mixture of early Minimalism (reminiscent of Matisse) with Expressionism. Rouveyre died in December 1962 in France.

    This enigmatic artist, signed in a way that can be read as either A.W or R.W (and in some older references possibly R.O), remains one of the most intriguing mysteries in vintage fetish and BDSM illustration.
