Jim Eugène SEVELLEC (1897-1971) Fishing return Canvas signed lower right 65 x 93 cm (restorations) Jim Eugène SEVELLEC (1897-1971) Eugène SÉVELLEC grew up in Camaret-sur-Mer with the artistic colony of the writer Saint-Pol-Roux's entourage. At a very young age, he drew the life of the port. Under the influence of Saint-Pol-Roux, he left for Paris to follow an artistic training with Louis-Marie Désiré-Lucas. During the First World War, he was mobilized in 1916 in the infantry and served, among other things, as an interpreter for American and Scottish soldiers. This is how his companions gave him his artist's first name "Jim", which is easier to pronounce than Eugène's. In 1936 he was appointed painter to the Navy. He created with friends an artistic group called "La phalange bretonne", he exhibited at the Galerie Saluden in Brest. Well established in the local artistic life, he is a teacher at the Brest School of Fine Arts without stopping his activity at the PTT. Jim Sévellec began his collaboration in 1928 with the Manufacture Henriot in Quimper. From this date, without ever ceasing to paint, Jim Sévellec gives many models to the Henriot publishing house.
