About Georges Joubin

  • Biography from Papillon Gallery

    Georges Joubin was born in 1888 in Digny, France.

    Joubin studied at the Académie Julian in 1906 in the atelier of Jean
    Pierre Laurens. Later he attended l'École des Beaux-Arts and studied
    with Gabriel Ferrier.

    Joubin settled in first atelier in 1911 on the Rue de la Gaité in
    Montparnasse. He exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants beginning in
    1912. He exhibited in the following years at the Salon d'Automne,
    Salon des Tuileries, and exhibited with and was a member of the
    committee at the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts.

    In 1919 Joubin participated in the founding of l'École de Montmartre
    with André Dignimont, Asselin, Jules Pascin, and Pierre Bonnard.

    Joubin was a bold and almost reckless modernist. His technique was
    that of the Post Impressionists, he represented his subjects using
    geometry like the Cubists, and the resulting imagery is classically
    "School of Paris." He painted nudes, beach scenes, still lifes, and
    portraits, always with the same enthusiasm.
