Aimé Thevenet

French painter Aimé Thevenet received an Honorable Mention in the 1948 Art Competitions at the London Olympics. This was for his work Coureurs Cyclistes dans la Côté de Coeur-Volant in the Paintings category. This oil painting was also featured in the catalog. The Côte de Coeur Volant is a road between Marly-le-Roi and Louveciennes west of Paris. It was painted several times by impressionist Alfred Sisley.

Nothing else is known of Thevenet’s life. A few caricatures and illustrations, some ribald, are known from the 1930s, and a few paintings with cycling motifs from the period after World War II.
