Jean Fernand (born 19 November 1948) is a French impressionist painter, lithographer, sculptor and illustrator. [1]
Jean Fernand was born in 1948 in Orly, 30 kilometres (19 mi) south of Paris. His parents, who were Parisians, managed an industrial laundry. When he left the primary school, Jean Fernand passed his launderer certificate; he was therefore destined to take up the family business. His grandfather was a painter who also lacquered Napoleon's tomb, so Fernand was already very interested in painting and drawing since childhood.[ citation needed ]
At the age of 16, he began to paint. He received painting classes from several artists such as André Bergeron and Gozlan. From the age of 25, he gradually devoted himself to painting, gradually forming his style. In 1970, he opened an art studio in Orly.[ citation needed ]

Key figures in the New York School, which was the epicenter of this movement, included such artists as Arshile Gorky, Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline, Mark Rothko, Norman Lewis, Willem de Kooning, Adolph Gottlieb, Clyfford Still, Robert Motherwell and Theodoros Stamos among others.
