André was a member of the Salon d'Automne, but rather than following the violent movements of the Fauves and Cubism, he followed the Academic tradition in his creation of gentle, brightly decorative compositions of harmonious subjects. This trend which could be called Impressionistic Academism was best expressed in his still lifes, interior scenes and coastal landscapes. (Source: The Digital Gallery. 1999-2006)
