Jean Leppien was born in Lunebourg, Germany, in 1910. He died in Paris in 1991. He was naturalized as a Frenchman in 1953. The artist started drawing in 1927. He was a student at the Bauhaus school (Dessau) in 1929, where he, among others. Albers, Klee and Kandinsky as professors. In Berlin (1931-32) he worked with Moholy-Nagy and taught photography at the Itten School. His life as an artist was full of group and solo exhibitions, the first in Paris in 1949, while the last was held in 2005 at the Château-Museum of Cagnes-sur-mer on the French Riviera. Also worth mentioning is an important retrospective exhibition in Paris in 1997 at Galerie Lahumière. In continuity with Bauhaus, Lappien focuses on the analysis of colours, geometric shapes and their mutual relationship.
