Biography |
|
|
|
|
His father was a prominent physician and also an amateur artist and an art collector. Emile's training included work under Othon-Friesz. Sabouraud is most identified with the Fauve painters, whose love of color and bold design proved a lasting influence on his own style. After the Second World War he was a teacher at the Academie Julien. |

His sister Cecile invented the children's tale of an elephant, which her fiance and future husband, the writer Jean de Brunhoff, developed into the stories of Babar. |

Sabouraud was also a collector in his own right and owned many fine paintings. He once purchased for his father the great Modigliani canvas Portrait of a Polish Woman (1919), that now hangs in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. |
