André Rouveyre
![André Rouveyre ([[Amedeo Modigliani](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/86/Andr%C3%A9_Rouveyre%2C_by_Amedeo_Modigliani_%281884-1920%29.jpg)
Having met Matisse in Gustave Moreau's atelier in 1896, the two would continue a lifelong friendship that included hundreds of letters of published correspondence as well as collaboration on such works as ''Repli'' (1947) and ''Apollinaire'' (1953).
Rouveyre's own drawings show a mixture of early Minimalism (reminiscent of Matisse) with Expressionism. The caricatural nature of his work is aptly described by Aldous Huxley in the novel ''Crome Yellow'' when a character encounters his own unflattering portrait: "A mute, inglorious Rouveyre appeared in every one of those cruelly clear lines."
Rouveyre died in December 1962 in Barbizon, France. Provided by Wikipedia
