André Dignimont is a French painter, illustrator, caricaturist, theater decorator, engraver and lithographer born in Paris in 1891. He has also acted in several films, notably in Donne-moi tes pommes, where he performs his own role under the direction by Sacha Guitry. André Dignimont devoted himself exclusively to works on paper, disdaining, with rare exceptions, painting on canvas. He began his career as a cartoonist and caricaturist in satirical newspapers such as Le rire, Le rire, etc. He was quickly recognized for his sense of positioning, and for a style that was both elliptical and evocative. Member of the Salon d'Automne, he also exhibits at the Salon des Tuileries, as well as at the Salon de l'Araignée. He renewed the art of illustration, by the use of vaporous colors enhanced by a skilful use of the whites of the paper. His evocation of people in the community, and of prostitution which he treats without complacency but with poetry is particularly appreciated. Well known in literary circles, he was chosen as an illustrator by Colette (Mitsou, l'Ingénue libertine) and by Galtier-Boissière (La bonne vie). He died in Paris in 1965.
