André François
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
André François (November 9, 1915 – April 11, 2005) was a French cartoonist.
He was born André Farkas to a Jewish family in Temesvár, Hungary (now Timişoara, Romania), and became a French citizen in 1939. He worked as a painter, sculptor and graphic designer, but is best remembered for his cartoons, whose subtle humor and wide influence bear comparison to those of Saul Steinberg. François worked initially for French leftist newspapers, but gradually reached a larger audience, publishing in leading magazines of the UK and the United States.
François died in his home in Grisy-les-Plâtres, in the Val-d'Oise département.
