André Lhote was a French sculptor and painter of figure objects, landscapes, portraits and still life.
Lhote was born in Bordeaux and learnt the art of woodcarving and sculpture at the age of 12. He was apprenticed to a local furniture maker to be trained as a sculptor in wood. He then attended the Ecole des beaux-arts in Bordeaux in 1898 and studied decorative sculpture until 1904.
In 1905 he moved to his own studio to devote himself to painting. Among his influences were Paul Gauguin and Paul Cezanne. His first exhibition was at the Gallery Druet in 1910.
