Biography<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eug\u00e8ne Paul was born rue Lepic, in the heart of Montmartre. His mother was an embroiderer and his father a caf\u00e9 musician. He began painting at an early age. His apprenticeship is original: as an apprentice interior decorator, he looks around him in the rich apartments.<\/p>\n

Passionate about painting and eager for knowledge, he observes the works collected by art lovers, wherever his work has taken him. He also learns about human anatomy by getting to know surgeons and accompanying them into operating rooms. He completed his training during the few years he spent at the \u00c9cole des Beaux-Arts in Paris.<\/p>\n

In 1913, he volunteered for the front and was wounded. A year later, a second injury led to the amputation of his right leg. Back in Paris in 1916, he began painting. His first oil painting – the Moulin de la Galette seen from his window – dates from 1916. Eug\u00e8ne Paul began his career as a painter. It represents many views of Paris to satisfy demand.<\/p>\n

He signed for the first time a painting “GEN-PAUL” in 1918. In 1920, he exhibited at the Salon d’Automne, and remained faithful to this institution, as well as to the Salon des Ind\u00e9pendants. He travels to Spain and is confronted with the masterpieces of the masters: Goya, El Greco, Velasquez… On his return, he makes even greater use of black in his compositions.<\/p>\n

His first solo exhibition took place at Galerie Bing in 1926. He illustrated several books by C\u00e9line, including Voyage au bout de la nuit<\/i> and Mort au credit<\/i> in 1942. He made engravings, some of which were published in a collection entitled Vues de Montmartre<\/i> .<\/p>\n

At the end of the Second World War, he made frequent trips to the United States and New York. At the time, he held the rank of general. In 1952, the Drouant-David gallery in Paris devoted a retrospective to him.<\/p>\n

Besides the annual events of the Parisian art scene (the Salons), Gen Paul exhibits only exceptionally. Indeed, the artist refuses to work with galleries, he does not depend on any of them. At the end of his life, he traveled frequently in France and Spain.<\/p>\n
