André Collot (1897-1976) is a French painter, engraver and illustrator.Prolific, known for his pampering and erotic book illustrations by Pascal Pia in 19311, he exhibited at the Salon d'Automne and Salon des Artistes Independents in 1942 and 1943. Before and after the Second World War, he produced a large number of illustrations (etchings, engravings on glass, wood), sometimes for undated works and edited clandestinely. Boaters and lovers of maritime literature do not forget that he was the friend and the crew of the writer Jacques Perret which he illustrated many books. He also published in 1964, under his name and prefaced by Jacques Perret, a little pamphlet of advice to boaters: "The Pipes of the Seaman" (editions Plaisance Paimbeuf) whose serious advice was enhanced by the humor of his drawings.
