Life

Barrois was born in Merchweiler, Saarland, in 1919 as the son of a miner. He completed an apprenticeship as a carpenter, but had to interrupt his professional career in 1939 when he was called up for labor service and military training. In 1941/42 he was able to spend a study vacation in Anton Marxmüller's drawing class at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich before he was ordered to do military service in Russia . He returned due to a serious illness. In 1944 Barrois became an American prisoner of war and was interned in a camp near Cherbourg until 1946 .

On his return he studied painting from 1946 to 1950 in the master class with Boris Kleint at the State School for Art and Crafts in Saarbrücken . In 1952/1953 he was able to study at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris with a scholarship . In 1952 he had his first exhibition as part of the “Gruppe Keint” in the Saarland Museum.

In 1960 Barrois married Gertrud Treitz, the sister of the sculptor Hans Treitz, and moved to Saarbrücken. Here he worked as a freelance painter and graphic artist. In 1978 the family moved to Erlenbach near Marktheidfeld, where Barrois died in 1988.
