Artist Biography
Georges Eugene Delhomme (1904-1989) was a French painter born in Meaux, near Paris in 1904. He was a cousin through his great-aunt of celebrated painter Rosa Bonheur (1822-1899), and he was a member of the Salon d'Automne, exhibiting there twice in 1928 with the paintings 'Paysage de Normandie' and 'Nature Morte'. Delhomme worked for Lancôme, of which he was one of the founders in 1935 until 1964. He later worked for Dior during the late 1960s, before retiring to the Drome. His work embraces the classic art movements that emerged during the 20th century, capturing the essence of landscapes, portraits, still lifes, female nudes, and bathers. His work, influenced by Maurice Denis, Matisse, Seurat, Modigliani, and the Barbizon School, also reached the world of luxury, notably through his collaboration with Lancôme and Dior.
