Life
Private father was a wood carver, from whom he also received his first artistic lessons. He later attended the École des Beaux-Arts in his hometown and, with the support of his teachers, was able to move to Paris to the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts (ENSBA). In addition to painting - the focus here was watercolor - he became a private student of the sculptor Jules Coutan (1848–1939).
At the beginning of the First World War , Privat joined the army and was injured several times. After his fourth wound, he was able to return to civilian life and settled in Paris. In the 14th arrondissement ( Montparnasse ) Privat opened a studio and was repeatedly invited to take part in major exhibitions of the Académie des Beaux-Arts . In 1937 he took part in the Exposition specialisée ( Palais de Chaillot ). But also at the regular exhibitions of the Société du Salon d'Automne or at the Salon du dessin de la peinture à l'eau , works by private individuals were repeatedly on view.
In November 1937, Privately married Odette de Puiffe de Magondeaux in Périgueux ( Dordogne department ) and lived with her during the German occupation in the south of the country. Soon after the end of the war, the couple returned to Paris privately and settled in Rue Boulard (14th arrondissement).
As an established artist, private could soon buy a villa on the coast near Soulac-sur-mer as a retirement home. He died there on August 3, 1969 at the age of 77.
