" Painter, printmaker, and sculptor Roger Bezombes was born on January 17, 1913, in Paris, France. Orphaned as a child, he spent much of his teen and young adult years working a variety of jobs to support his painting career, including helping to install the major 1930 Bauhaus exhibition at the Grand Palais. When he was of age he enrolled in the Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts where he studied under Paul Boudouin and Rene Barotte, and would spend his available hours copying the works of old masters at the Louvre. His friend, artist maurice Denis, introduced him to the works of Gaugin, Van Gogh, and Matisse, all of whom would remain influences throughout Bezombes' career.
In 1936 he won his first major award, the second Grand Prix de Rome, and the same year was given a travel grant to study in Africa. He continued his travels into the following year, living for a time in Morocco before returning to Paris for his first major solo exhibition at the Charpentier Gallery. He would continue to exhibit and travel regularly, including through the Second World War. In 1950, he secured a professorship at the Academie Julian, and in 1951 a working trip to Greece introduced him to the art of tapestry, which would becoming one of his main mediums. In 1954 he was elected Chevalier de la Legion d'honneur, and in 1955 he was appointed the official painter of the French Navy.
Bezombes retained a studio in Paris in 1930 and a house in Saint-Remy-de-Provence in 1950, both of which he kept until his death. In 1978 he was elected into the French Academy of Sciences. He died in Paris on August 9, 1994."
