JACQUES BUSSE- EBOULI 2 - 1962

Jacques Busse was a French painter born in Vincennes on December 22, 1922 and died in Paris on August 22, 2004.

Jacques Busse entered the Academie de la Grande Chaumière in 1942, where he became a pupil of Othon Friez. He formed the Échelle group with Jean-Marie Calmettes, Jean Cortot, Michel Patrix and others. In 1945, he took part in the first Salon de Mai and was a member of the Salon Committee from 1957 to 1970. From 1958 until his death, he exhibited at the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles. He was president of the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles from 1980 to 1995.

Alongside his painting career, he pursued two other careers: one as a teacher, first at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière (1961), then at various Écoles des Beaux-Arts (Nancy, Marseille (1965), Limoges and Dijon); the other as an art historian and writer. He wrote numerous articles for the Dictionnaire des peintres Bénézit (Critical and Documentary Dictionary of Painters, Sculptors, Drawers and Engravers of All Times and All Countries), of which he edited the last two editions, the latest of which came out in fourteen volumes in 1999.

Jacques Busse's work, which spans the period from 1945 to 2003, is divided into some fifteen different periods, most of them abstract. As he himself has said: "I preferred the interest and pleasure of traveling within painting, to the obligation demanded by the art market to stick to the repetition of a single identifiable way of painting."
