DETAIL: Herve began his formal art studies in an evening school in Langres, France. Hervé was trained at the Ecole nationale supérieure d’arts decoratifs of Paris, and studied with Fernand Cormon and Jules Adler.As early as 1910, his work was shown in Paris Salons where his paintings were described as “jewels” of French scenery.He was awarded a gold medal at the Salon des artistes français in 1925, and a gold medal at the 1937 World’s Fair. Elected vice-president of the Salon des artistes français. Then, Hervé retired from public life. Hervé is a painter of the scenes of the Parisian life. Paris, seen by Hervé, is the city of poetry, the “city of lights” that he painted in the wake of the Impressionists. He also painted many views of his hometown. He was famous for his scenes of religious processions. His paintings are now preserved in many museums in France, the Petit Palais in Paris, Langres, Dijon, Saint-Etienne, Tourcoing, Annecy and abroad, the Chicago Museum and Casablanca. His paintings are now sought by many fans in France and abroad where he met with great success. All are seduced by its light and colours as well as its Parisian scenes full of charm.His work has been purchased by most of the leading museums in France and although he represented the purest tradition of French art and paints with great impressionism, he was completely unaffected by the current fashion of art. He has always sought to master the technical secrets of art and painted with a marvellous harmony of colour and light. Elected Vice President of the Salon des Artistes Francais and a member of The Jury of the Society of French Artists.
