Georges Lacombe (painter)
Georges Lacombe (18 June 1868 – 29 June 1916) was a French sculptor and painter.
Early life[]
Born to a distinguished family of Versailles, he received his artistic training at the Académie Julian from the impressionists Alfred Philippe Roll and Henri Gervex.
The Nabis[]
At the Académie Julian he met Émile Bernard and Paul Sérusier in 1892, shortly afterwards becoming a member of their artist group, Les Nabis.
Like many other Nabi he spent the summers from 1888 to 1897 in Brittany, some sources[citation needed] record that he met Bernard and Sérusier there. He became Le Nabi sculpteur: the sculptor of the group. In fact many sources[citation needed] refer to him solely as sculptor.
Death[]
Georges Lacombe died in Alençon, Orne on 29 June 1916, eleven days after his 48th birthday.
