Biography
Camille Hilaire was born in Metz in 1916, where he spent his youth and studied. Between 1930 and 1936, he began to draw by his own inclination and became impassioned by Dürer. He entered the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 1941 and became friends with Andre Lhote and Jacques Villon. Named professor of drawing at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Nancy in 1947, he pursued this career at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris from 1958.

Style Impressionism

An art movement founded in France in the last third of the 19th century. Impressionist artists sought to break up light into its component colors and render its ephemeral play on various objects. The artist's vision was intensely centered on light and the ways it transforms the visible world. This style of painting is characterized by short brush strokes of bright colors used to recreate visual impressions of the subject and to capture the light, climate and atmosphere of the subject at a specific moment in time. The chosen colors represent light which is broken down into its spectrum components and recombined by the eyes into another color when viewed at a distance (an optical mixture). The term was first used in 1874 by a journalist ridiculing a landscape by Monet called Impression - Sunrise.
