BERNARD
BOUTET DE MONVEL
1881
– 1949
Bernard Boutet de Monvel was born in Paris to a
well-known artist and illustrator at the time, Maurice Boutet de Monvel. The
young Bernard also became a painter and illustrator, his early works heavily
indebted to his father’s influence. He developed a more personal style over
time. In 1900, Bernard began to study painting, traveling to Florence, and
began to show in Parisian Salons.
In the twenties and thirties he provided illustrations
for Harper’s Bazaar, the most prestigious and lucrative publications to work for at
the time. He also continued to have success with his painting and showed at
exhibitions around the world. He came to be known for both landscape and
portrait painting, but gradually specialized in portraits and cityscapes. He
also illustrated books and worked for fashion magazines. Bernard is considered
an Art Deco artist, although he didn’t categorize himself in this manner, and he
has also been called ‘hyperrealistic.’ He was always moving around, but he came
to the U.S. for a time in his later years and became interested in painting views
of New York City, among other things. He died in a plane crash in 1949.
