Georges Henri TRIBOUT (French, 1884-1962)
Georges Henri TRIBOUT was born in 1884 in Paris and died in 1962. He is a French painter, designer and architect close to the Cubist movement.
He studied at the University of Notre-Dame de Boulogne. Then, from 1904 to 1905, attended the Académie Julian in Paris.
He began to paint in the cubist style and exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants in 1909, where he presented a portrait of his friend the poet Emile VERHAUEY (1855-1916). At the time, he lived in Saint Cloud and frequent other artists, like the writers and poets Eugenio MONTAL and Stephen ZWEIG or the painter James ENSOR, all advise him to continue his painting. During the First World War, he was with Jean-Louis FORAIN, Lucien-Victor GUIRAUD de SCEVOIA and many other “camouflage” artists in the French army.
After the war, he painted landscapes and portraits which he exhibited in particular at the Galerie Alligons in Paris where his works are permanently exhibited there. He made a name for himself on the national but also international scene, which earned him to be included, in 1925, in the ceramic exhibitions of the "Exposition des Arts Décoratifs" in Paris (La Manufacture de Sèvres produced some of its ceramics). Aside from his pictorial and ceramic activity, the artist has also produced posters, costumes, and theater sets ...
In the 1930s, TRIBOUT took an interest in architecture and abandoned exhibitions in galleries.
