Alain DORANGE

Born in Colmar on January 7, 1923, 4th of a family of 7 children, he early became interested in drawing, attended the School of Applied Arts, left for Indochina in 1945 from where he was repatriated in 1947.   

He held various positions at Nouvelles Littéraires, married in 1949 and the same year beganat Editions Fleurus; it was the beginning of a very long career that ended only a few yearsbefore his death on December 7, 2017. 

Editions Fleurus, Hachette, Gauthier-Languereau, Ouest-France, Rameau, etc. and many others, and at the end of their career Les Editions du Triomphe, widely disseminated his drawings.   

If his work can be described as prolific, any amateur of the productions of the years 50 to 80 also finds in his drawings a great talent and a lot of dynamism.   

The very eclectic character of his work is generally recognized, as the subjects and styles are varied.
