NOTES: Andre Vigneau studied at the Ecole des Beaux-arts de Bordeaux between 1905 - 1910. He was best known as a photographer, studio owner, and painter in Paris from the 1920s - 1960s. During the early 20th century his work was in the Surrealist style and he was a friend and contemporary of Man Ray. During the 1950s and 1960s his work became more abstracted and in 1963, he invented a neologism, the halogram to signify that an object remains in its halo of light. His rare painted works are held in a number of important private and museum collections including: Bibliothque Nationale de France; The Louvre Paris; Musee Reattu; the Collection of Christian Bouqueret; Bibliotheque Historique de la Ville de Paris (BHVP); Galerie Bellechasse, Paris.
