In 1939 he began to engrave and, in 1941, moved to Paris, studing at the École du Louvre between 1945-1957. Talented draftsman and sensitive artist, André Roland Brudieux was a member of Surrealist movement, gravitating around André Breton and participating in Surrealist exhibitions in 1950. He also began to experiment the woodcut technique in 1997.
