Biography:

Camille Hilaire was born in Metz on August 2, 1916 and died in Fourges on June 7, 2004. He was a French painter, lithographer, stained-glass artist, upholsterer and mosaicist.

Camille Hilaire trained at the Beaux-Arts in Paris. At the height of the Occupation, he chose to register under a false name, Leblanc, and exhibited his work in Parisian salons.
Albrech Dürer was a major source of inspiration for him, and he took on his characteristic style, just as he admired the light emanating from the works of the great Italian painters.

Despite the dark years that marked his work, Camille Hilaire's canvases pierced the viewer's eye with their brilliant colors and light. Through her travels, the artist immersed herself in the beauty that surrounded her, from Normandy to Venice.

A master of composition, the artist managed to infuse both calm and passion into his canvases. In 1947, he turned to a teaching career, teaching drawing and decorative composition at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Art in Nancy, before moving on to Paris in 1958.

He opened up to new techniques, experimenting with watercolor, lithography, tapestry and stained glass. His work stands on the threshold between figuration and post-Cubism. Numerous monographs have been devoted to him around the world, and he remains in the history of art as one of the painters who marked the mid-twentieth century.
