Artist: Camille Hilaire (1916-2004) was a French painter and weaver from Metz. During his studies at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and a period travelling through Spain and Italy painting and weaving tapestries, he was drafted into the army. He was taken prisoner during the Second World War but managed to escape, returning to Paris during the Occupation with a false identity to continue his studies and meet his tutor, the cubist artist, André Lhote. Hilaire became Lhote’s assistant and later appointed professor of Beaux-Arts in Nancy and later in Paris until 1968. In that time, he was awarded the Prix de Venise and the Prix de la Casa de Velázques and held his first exhibition in Paris in 1951 at the Galerie Valloton. After that, he exhibited regularly at international art fairs in Geneva, Cannes and Deauville. His art is full of colour, calm and grace.
