André Lhote (5 July 1885 – 24 January 1962) was a French Cubist painter of figure subjects, portraits, landscapes, and still life.

He was alongside some of the fathers of modern art, including Gleizes, Villon, Duchamp, Metzinger, Picabia and La Fresnaye.

The outbreak of the First World War interrupted his work and, after discharge from the army in 1917, he became one of the group of Cubists supported by Léonce Rosenberg.

[4] He taught dozens of younger artists who would go on to become famous, including a remarkable number of whom (considering the era) were female: Elena Mumm Thornton Wilson, Kristin Saleri, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Conrad O'Brien-ffrench, Adamson-Eric, Simon Elwes, William Crozier, William Geissler, William Gillies, Elvire Geblesco Bibesco, Kuno Veeber, Charlotte van Pallandt, Wesley E. Johnson, Sava Šumanović,[citation needed] Margaret Lefranc, Shirley Russell, Gwyneth Johnstone, Paul Kane, Julie van der Veen, Michael Wishart, Lino Spilimbergo, Amalia Nieto, Héctor Sgarbi, Tamara de Lempicka, Sárika Góth, Berthe Edersheim, Nancy van Overveldt, Pierrette Bloch, Samir Rafi, Gerda Sutton,[5] Sarah Marindah Baker,[6] Genevieve Pezet,[7] Shokouh Riazi,[8] Javad Hamidi,[8] Eren Eyüboğlu,[9] Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu,[10] Elizabeth Rivers, Mainie Jellett and Helen Stewart.

[11] His work was rewarded with the Grand Prix National de Peinture for 1955, and the UNESCO commission for sculpture appointed Lhote president of the International Association of Painters, Engravers and Sculptors.
