Paule Gobillard
Paule Gobillard (born December 3, 1867 in Quimperlé ; died 1946 in Paris ) was a French painter. She was repeatedly the model of her aunt Berthe Morisot and Pierre-Auguste Renoir .
Life
Paule Gobillard was born as the eldest child of Théodore Gobillard and his wife Yves, née Morisot, in Quimperlé on the Atlantic coast of Brittany . Her younger siblings were brother Marcel (1872-1922) and sister Jeannie (1877-1970). Her aunt was the painter Berthe Morisot , who in turn was the sister-in-law of the painter Édouard Manet . Edgar Degas , who portrayed Yves Gobillard's mother in 1869 , also belonged to the family's artistic environment . Paule Gobillard's father died in 1879 when she was twelve years old. After her mother's death in 1893, she moved with her siblings into the household of her aunt Berthe Morisot. Her cousin Julie Manet recorded many details about the life of Paule Gobillard's youth in her diary, which was later published.
Berthe Morisot has portrayed Paule Gobillard several times. She also gave her painting lessons, as did her sister Jeannie and Julie Manet. On Berthe Morisot's advice, Paule Gobillard also took lessons from the painter Henri Gervex and she copied paintings in the Louvre . Together with her sister Jeannie, she visited Pierre-August Renoir in Cagnes-sur-Mer in 1894 , who also gave her painting lessons. There are also several portraits by Paule Gobillard by Renoir. After Berthe Morisot's death in 1895, she continued to live with her sister and cousin Julie Manet in an apartment at 40 rue de Villejust (now rue Paul Valéry). The family's circle of friends included the writer Stéphane Mallarmé , portrayed by Paule Gobillard , the writer André Gide and the painter Odilon Redon . Through Edgar Degas, they met the writer Paul Valéry in 1898 . In a double wedding in 1900 Valéry married his sister Jeannie Gobillard and his cousin Julie Manet married the painter Ernest Rouart .
Paule Gobillard remained unmarried. She lived in her household after her sister's wedding. From then on she devoted herself entirely to painting and created oil paintings, watercolors and pastel paintings. She created portraits, genre pictures, landscapes and still lifes. Scenes with children and bouquets of flowers are repeated as motifs. Her style is clearly based on Berthe Morisot's painting style. She exhibited her works from 1894–1912 in the Salon des Indépendants , was represented in the Salon d'Automne from 1904–1946 and from 1926 participated in the Salon des Tuileries . Paule Gobillard died in Paris in 1946.
