JULES ZINGG (1882-1942)
Jules-Emile Zingg was a French painter and printmaker. Born 1882 in Montbéliard, he attended school while studying drawing at night. His father, a watchmaker, taught him the basics of his trade. In his late teens, Zingg joined Félix-Henri Giacomotti's studio at the Besançon School of Fine Arts and that of Fernand Cormon at the Paris School of Fine Arts in 1902.
At first, Zingg just painted portraits of local notables. His first success came in 1911, when he won the Prix de Rome for his painting Christ Before Being Put on the Cross, followed by the Grand Prix National in 1913. The outbreak of the Great War prompted him to leave for Perros-Guirec in Brittany, where he met Maurice Denis and Paul Sérusier. Those encounters were decisive. He rejected the academicism of his early works to embrace the Nabi movement. This new influence led him to opt for greater simplification of the subject and warm, bright colours. He painted French landscapes, especially in Brittany and Auvergne, and was particularly fond of the countryside, which he depicted with the changing seasons. In direct contact with nature and the people who work there, his work is an ode to peasant labour and to nature as a nurturing mother. Zingg always painted the land with a devouring passion and the warm, shimmering colours of his flat surfaces, paying tribute to the bond uniting man to the earth and the nobility of the eternal cycle of work in the fields.
He met Edouard Vuillard, with whom he was responsible for depicting the realities of the 1917 front during a mission with the French Armed Forces. On the strength of these meetings and his integration into the Nabi movement, he participated in several exhibitions, including the Salon des Indépendants, Salon d
