Yves Ganne first studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts of Nantes and, subsequently, with Fernand Léger in Paris. Ganne received his first critical attention at the exhibition of the Prix de la Jeune Peinture in 1950, and was awarded the prestigious Prix de la Ville de Menton later in the same year.

Ganne mounted his first Paris solo exhibition in 1954 at Drouant David's, where he was granted a second one-man show in 1957. He exhibited internationally with success and was the recipient of numerous medals, prizes and juried awards. His works have been acquired by the French Government and may be found in the permanent collections the City of Paris and the Musée d'Art Moderne, in Paris, among others. The artist is well listed in relevant art reference works including Benezit's, Dictionnaire des Peintres.
