Biography

The son of the painter Edmond Aman-Jean, on 4 December 1916 in Paris he married Charlotte Simon, the daughter of the painter Lucien Simon, herself a painter, known under the name Charlotte Aman-Jean.

A captain in the French army, Aman-Jean served in Romania in 1918[2]

MD, surgeon by profession, he had a try at the Theater in 1949, but the creation of Jeanne la Folle by the Comédie-Française at the Théâtre de l'Odéon did not meet the expected success. However, he persevered with a one-act play at the Théâtre des Noctambules, four years later.

The sculptor Philippe Besnard made a bronze bust of him, displayed in 1913 at the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-arts (SNBA).
