Artist Biography

Alfred Flavien Georges Joubin (1888-1983) was a French painter. Having been orphaned at a young age, he received his artistic training at the Académie Julian and then at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris. In 1912, he settled in the artists' colony "Les Fusains" in Montmartre, Paris. He participated in the founding of the École de Montmartre, whose manifesto proclaimed: "we believe we can create a work not nourished by abstraction, but plunging into the very roots of life." A street in Digny, his birthplace, now bears his name.
