Life

José Silbert: Tête de marocain

José Silbert was born in Aix-en-Provence in 1862, the son of the doctor Sébastien Pierre Antoine Silbert. In his hometown he first received painting lessons from the painter Jean Baptiste Martin (1818–1901). He then moved to Paris, where he studied painting at the Académie des Beaux-Arts with Jules-Joseph Lefebvre and Luc-Olivier Merson . He made his debut at the Salon de Paris in 1884 with the painting Légende de Saint Marin de Dalmatie . In 1885 he exhibited a portrait of his father in the salon, and in 1887 he showed the icon Légende de Aaint François d'Assise et du loup de Gubbio . Silbert traveled repeatedly to North Africa. There he visited Tangier and lived in Algiers with the painter Étienne Dinet , who had turned to the painting of Orientalism . Such motifs can also be found in Silbert's work. With a level of detail reminiscent of realism , he created above all colorful and sensitive portraits of Moroccans and Algerians. At the colonial exhibition Exposition coloniale de Marseille in 1922, Silbert organized the art department.
