Emile Bernard (1868-1941)

Emile Bernard, the post-impressionist painter and French poetunder the pseudonym of Jean Dorsalwas born in Lille on 28 April 1868.

Very soon, he became acquainted with painters such as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Louis Anquetin, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin, with whom he quarrelled in 1891. At the beginning of his career, he explored several currents: cloisonnism, synthetism, pointillism, symbolism, and he also belonged to the Pont-Aven group. From 1893 to 1904, he moved to Cairo where he produced paintings of Orientalist inspiration. Back in Paris in 1904, he returned to his group of friends, met Paul Cézanne and drew closer to classical painters. In 1933, at the request of Father Duparc, Emile Bernard painted a series of frescoes in the church of Saint-Malo-de-Phily.

He died in his Paris studio on 16 April 1941.
