Jean-Marie Ledannois (1940-2014) is a painter, lithographer and ceramist. Influenced by ALBERS, BAZAINES, FAUTRIER, MALEVITCH, MANESSIER, ROTHKO, his movements of belonging are abstract landscaping and geometric abstraction.

Jean-Marie Ledannois is the pseudonym of Jean-Marie Boudot, hence his Monogram JMB on some of his works. He was a student of the Ecole Supérieure des Arts Appliqués et des Métiers d'Art while at the same time being a ceramist student in the Paris studio of Annie Martin-Talboutier, wife of the sculptor Etienne Martin.

From 1960 and for more than 50 years, he regularly exhibited his gouaches and oils on canvas in galleries around the world and took part in numerous international contemporary art fairs, including the first FIAC in 1974 with the MELKI gallery (Rue de Seine in Paris). The countryside near Paris where he lives is a source of inspiration and he regularly receives his great artistic or literary friendships there, including Régis Debray who will devote an essay to him entitled "Ledannois (essay on the painter Jean-Marie Ledannois)", Éditions Pierre Horay , Paris, 1977. He also directed the Abel-Lauvray art center in Mantes la jolie (1998 to 2005) and was a teacher within the movement of contemporary artists in Yvelines.
