''Camille Hilaire worked at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and in free Academies, notably that of André Lhote, who had a decisive influence on him. He won numerous prizes and awards. In his very abundant work, with declared decorative intentions, based on a neo-cubist construction and an extensive color range and acid tones, we particularly quote from this painter native of Metz the themes of Orchestras, Horse races and Greenhouses.
