biography
André Noufflard's mother was Italian and his father came from Normandy . At the age of 12 he became a half-orphan because his father died. After studying law in Rome and Perugia , he discovered his vocation as an artist in 1907 at the age of 22 and decided to become a painter.
He first studied drawing and engraving in Florence with Nerina Simi and then came to Paris in 1910, where his sister Florence lived, who had recently married the historian Elie Halévy . At the Académie de la Grande Chaumière he studied painting with René Ménard and Lucien Simon . Then he met Berthe Langweil at Jacques-Émile Blanche, whom he married in 1911.
This was followed by a stay in Italy in Broncigliano, which today belongs to Scandicci . He traveled to Italy and, among other things, painted the village of Mosciano in 1914 and that should be the last pictures by 1919. In that year Noufflard was drafted into the Italian army as a technical officer. Among other things, he took part in the Twelfth Isonzo Battle. The Noufflard couple did not see each other during the entire war. Only after demobilization does he return to Paris. There he saw his daughter Henriette, who was already four, for the first time.
In 1920, after the birth of their second daughter Geneviève, André and Berthe founded and restored the family estate in Fresnay-le-Long near Tôtes in Normandy. The couple spent several months there every year.
Noufflard painted a lot in the following years and exhibited several times with his wife in galleries. Noufflard, who rejects fascism in Italy, regained his French citizenship in 1926.
Noufflard traveled a lot with Henri Rivière . The trips lead to Brittany or the Alps to Galtür . Noufflard first spent the beginning of the Second World War near Toulouse and then on his country estate in the Dordogne, where Henry Rivière was also to survive the war years.
Over 700 amateur films made between 1925 and 1940 by Noufflard and his wife have survived .
Noufflard exhibited at the renowned Brame & Lorenceau gallery in 1927, 1935, 1956 and 1967, and at Paul Durand-Ruel in 1929 and 1951
