Adrien Jules Flour (born August 6, 1864 in Avignon ; † February 10, 1921 there ) was a French genre painter and art teacher.

Adrien Jules Flour worked as an apprentice glass painter and attended the studio of Charles Guilbert d'Anelle . At the municipal art school in Avignon, he learned drawing from Gabriel Bourges and painting from Pierre Grivolas .

In 1883 he began studying at the École des beaux-arts de Paris with Jean-Léon Gérôme . Gérôme's warm recommendations earned him financial support from the General Council of the Vaucluse department and the city of Avignon.

In 1887 he began his career as a painter in the Salon of the Société des Artistes Français with a portrait of a woman. The art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel showed interest in his works.

Jules Flour married Berthe Marguerite Pichot on December 8, 1898. From 1899 Flour divided his life between the capital and the Vaucluse. He often exhibited his pictures at regional fairs (Béziers 1892, Montpellier 1896) and especially in his hometown.

From 1906 he taught in the freshman semesters at the art school in Avignon. From 1913 he taught the students of the senior course.

In 1912 eleven painters and two sculptors from Avignon decided to leave the conservative Vaucluser Society of Friends of the Fine Arts. The painters Jules Flour and Pierre Alexandre Belladen, Alfred Bergier, Lina Bill, Colombier, Claude Firmin , Joseph Hurard, Alfred Lesbros, Meissonnier and Louis Agricol Montagné as well as the sculptors Jean-Pierre Gras and Deprez made up the "Group of Thirteen". The group remained active until 1921.
