Jacques Germain
Jacques Germain, a renowned French artist, was a student at the Académie Moderne, directed by the eminent Fernand Léger and Amédée Ozenfant. His artistic career is marked by a significant influence from these two major figures of modern art.
At a time when Blaise Cendrars and Fernand Léger recommended his admission to the Bauhaus in 1931, Germain briefly explored the horizons of this institution before returning to Paris with the rise of the Nazi regime. He then devoted himself to advertising design, but this was only the beginning of an artistic path that would eventually lead him to devote himself entirely to painting after his release from three years of wartime captivity.
In 1949, Germain held his first exhibition in Paris, marking the start of a series of world's fairs that drew attention to his talent and prolific body of work.
Jacques Germain's work is distinguished by its diversity and depth. Whether through his paintings, drawings or prints, he captured the essence of his time with a unique artistic sensibility.
