B. 1873-1956 - Emile Delobre lived a modest life. Perhaps, overshadowed by the artistic giants of his age, he comes to us to be rediscovered as a painter of great sensitivity and grace. His purpose in painting seems not to have been to revolutionize art, but rather, to reaffirm it as the representation of all that man finds beautiful and inspiring. As Emile Delobre emerges from obscurity, we find a master of the impressionist technique, committed to the traditions of art and devoted to the expression of universal sentiment.
