Biography:
Lucien Adrion 1889-1953.

French painter, draughtsman, and engraver, he is known for his paintings of the French countryside and beaches, as well as scenes of Parisian life.
Born in Strasbourg, Lucien Adrion began his career as a fashion designer, before traveling throughout Europe.
During the First World War, he was in Berlin, where he studied with the engraver Hermann Struck.
After the war, Lucien Adrion returned to France, eventually settling in Paris.
His first major exhibition was at the Salon des Indépendants in 1926.
Supported by galleries and a few collectors, he devoted himself entirely to painting, creating canvases imbued with light and teeming with life, with a predilection for street scenes, racecourses, and the beaches of Normandy or the Côte d'Azur.
In 1926, together with Paul Signac, he organized an exhibition of French painters in Berlin, as part of the "Berliner Sezession".
He subsequently exhibited in Berlin, Paris, and Los Angeles.
A retrospective exhibition was dedicated to him by the Museums of the City of Strasbourg in July 1955.
