Andry-Farcy

In 1910 he became a journalist, art critic and artist for Petit Dauphinois and set up a poster studio near the Imprimerie Générale, which he ran until the Second World War.

In 1943 he was arrested for exhibiting 'degenerate art', imprisoned in Grenoble for twenty-five days then interned at Royallieu-Compiègne, where he became the camp librarian.

On 2 September 1944 he was liberated by Canadian troops, moving to Toulouse for a year and unsure whether to return to his role in Grenoble.

The director of Musées de France refused to appoint an inspector general of provincial museums, leading Andry-Farcy to return to the Alps and resume his work as curator.

On 3 August 1949 he was made curator of the musée Fantin-Latour after Jean Leymarie was nominated his successor at the Museum of Grenoble on 20 July the same year.
