André Jacquemin was a pupil of Charles Albert Waltner (1846-1925) and Jean-Paul Laurens at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 1928, he founded, with eleven other engravers (including Yves Alix, Amédée de La Patellière and Robert Lotiron), the Society of Young Contemporary Engraving and obtained, in 1936, the Grand Prix National des Arts, awarded for the first time to a burner. In 1937, he represented French engraving at the Venice Biennale. In 1953, he became curator of the image museum and the departmental museum of the Vosges in Épinal. We owe him almost a thousand prints and numerous illustrations from books. His works appear in several French and foreign museums.
