Jacques Deveau was a French post-war contemporary artist born in 1937 and was active in France during the 20th Century. As an impressionist painter, he was known for his detailed works depicting scenes from daily life; notably works of simple life by the garden or beach often depicting beautiful ladies and children. His rich, impasto technique and use of light and color capture scenes of tranquil beauty and the joy of life. Deveau’s work was also known for his beach scenes and landscapes, and his paintings have been represented by many prominent galleries and appear in private collections worldwide.
