Toute sa vie, Jean Amblard dessine.
Démobilisé en Auvergne, Jean Amblard retrouve Paris occupé. Entré dans la clandestinité au Front national des arts avec ses amis Taslitzky, Fougeron, Pignon, il continue de dessiner son quartier, ses amies, les femmes qu’il héberge.
Encre de Chine, fusain, sépia, graphite, jusqu’au stylo-bille et aux feutres, sur tous types de papiers, de calques… toutes les techniques lui conviennent et se complètent.

Jean Amblard drew throughout his entire life.
Demobilised in Auvergne, Jean Amblard returned to occupied Paris. Going underground with his friends Taslitzky, Fougeron and Pignon in the National Front of the Arts, he continued to draw his neighbourhood, his friends and the women he sheltered.
Indian ink, charcoal, sepia, graphite, even ballpoint pen and felt-tip pens, on all types of paper, tracing paper… all techniques suited him and complemented each other.
