Alfred Manessier was a non-figurative French painter, stained glass artist and tapestry designer, who was part of the New School of Paris. Manessier was born in Saint-Ouen. He had enrolled in architecture in 1929, but decided to switch to fine arts in 1935 and enrolled at the Académie Ranson. However, Manessier disliked the school and spent his free time copying paintings by old masters such as Rembrandt van Rijn, Peter Paul Rubens and Tintoretto in the Louvre. Towards the beginning of World War II, his paintings tended more towards cubism and surrealism.
Manessier was chosen, along with fifty other painters, to represent the avant-garde at the 1937 Paris International Exhibition in transportation centers by painting a mural.
