Émile Bergerat
Émile Bergerat (born April 29, 1845 in Paris , † April 13, 1923 there ) was a French journalist and writer.
As a journalist, Bergerat u. a. for daily newspapers like Le Figaro . Catulle Mendès and Bergerat married the two daughters of Théophile Gautier ; the former Estelle, the latter Judith. Gautier brought his two sons-in-law to the Parnassian circle through literature ; Gautier kept his other artistic circle (under the aegis of the sculptor Jean Bernard), the "Le petit cenacle", closed to Bergerat and Mendès.
Bergerat was accepted into the Académie Goncourt (7e couvert) and made the acquaintance of the painter Paul Baudry . Bergerat later published a notable monograph on this, to which his father-in-law contributed the foreword. In the controversial discussions about the exhibitions of the Paris Salon and their counterparts - for example the Société des Artistes Indépendants - Bergerat participated with several articles and above all his work "Le salon de 1892".
About two weeks before his 78th birthday, Émile Bergerat died on April 13, 1923 in Paris.
