André Poffé (Ixelles, 1911 - Wolluwe-Saint-Lambert, 1990)
Belgian painter, draftsman, watercolourist. Training at the Academies of Brussels (1928 - 1930) and Ixelles and with his father, who is a watercolorist and draftsman. Initially finds his inspiration especially in the views of cities (Brussels). Then he creates Brabant village views in muted or dark colors, often lit by the moon. Paints his subjects with great care. His works exude poetry. Sometimes reminds Jos Albert. Towards the end of his life, his palette becomes lighter and more cheerful.
In the press: "Andre Poffé looks at the world through sunglasses with particular shades, which you only wear when you are happy and want to see life from another perspective. A quiet world ; village streets, sleeping nature, Brabant seasons, these are dreamlike images of a lived reality".
Was a professor at the Academy of Wolluwe-Saint-Lambert.
Works in the museums of Mons and Wolluwe-Saint-Lambert.
