Biography:
Camille Hilaire
born in Metz on August 2, 1916 and died on June 7, 2004 in Fourges is a French painter, lithographer, stained glass artist, tapestry maker and mosaicist. Camille Hilaire will follow the training of the Beaux-Arts of Paris. In the heart of the Occupation he chose to register under a false name, Leblanc, and exhibit his works in Parisian salons. Albrech Dürer was a major source of inspiration for him, from whom he would take his characteristic trait, just as he would admire the light emanating from the works of the great Italian painters. Despite the dark years that ran through his work, Camille Hilaire's paintings would pierce the viewer's eye with their colours and their brilliant lights. Through his travels, the artist would soak up the beauty that surrounded him from Normandy to Venice.
A master of composition, the artist would succeed in instilling both calm and passion in his paintings. In 1947 he would move towards a career as a teacher and would teach drawing and decorative composition at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Art in Nancy before continuing at the Ecole de Paris in 1958. He opened up to new techniques and would try his hand at watercolour, lithography, tapestry and stained glass. His work is on the threshold of figuration and post-cubism.
Numerous monographs have been devoted to him throughout the world and he remains in the history of art as one of the painters who marked the middle of the twentieth century.
