Jean Hélion (April 21, 1904 – October 27, 1987) was a French painter whose abstract work of the 1930s established him as a leading modernist.
His midcareer rejection of abstraction was followed by nearly five decades as a figurative painter.
He was also the author of several books and an extensive body of critical writing.
