ANDRE WARNOD (1885-1960) was a French writer, goguettier, art critic, and illustrator, who witnessed the artistic scenes of Montmartre and Montparnasse during the 1910s-1930s. Andr Warnod was the first to coin the term "cole de Paris" (School of Paris) in an article for Comdia, published on January 27, 1925. He reiterated this term in October of the same year in the introduction to his book "Les berceaux de la jeune peinture" (The Cradles of Young Painting). He was a member, alongside other well-known or lesser-known personalities, of the goguette du Cornet. During World War I, he served in the Russian Ambulances, led by Colonel Dimitri d'Osnobichine. He was a member of the Mortigny circle, founded by Dimitri d'Osnobichine, in 1908 which brought together numerous artists and regulars of Parisian life: Bernard Boutet de Monvel, Pierre Brissaud, Georges Villa, Guy Arnoux, Jo Hamman, Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scevola, Joseph Pinchon, Paul Poiret, Pierre Troisgros, Jean Routier, Henri Callot, Pierre Falize, Pierre Prunier, a circle that operated until the 1950s.
