Jules René Hervé Biography
|
 |
 |
|
|

The artist was born at Langres in France in 1887. He began his studies at the School of Decorative Arts and the Fine Art School.

He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Francais for the first time in 1910 and 1914 he won the Silver Medal for the same society. He joined the French army for the war but took up painting when he returned in 1920.

The French Government awarded him a travelling scholarship in 1924 and in 1925 he won a Gold Medal. He also won a medal at the International Paris Exhibition in 1937. Between 1911 and 1943 he taught other artists and he also won the Belle Table Prize and the Leguay Prize.

|
|
His work has been purchased by the most of the leading museums in France and although he represented the purest tradition of French art and paints with great impressionism, he was completely unaffected by the current fashion of art. He has always sought to master the technical secrets of art and painted with a marvellous harmony of colour and light.
