Paul Rebeyrolle


Paul Rebeyrolle was a French painter.

Life and works

As a child he had tuberculosis of the bone, which caused him long periods of immobility. Later he studied in Limoges and joined the French Communist Party. He ultimately broke with the party because of events related to the Hungarian [Revolution of 1956].
His art was often concerned with landscapes, but marked by violence and rage. He received praise from François Pinault, Jean-Paul Sartre, Michel Foucault and others. Some of his famous works are called "Frogs" 1966, "Still Life" 1966, and "Trout" 1956.

Where to see his works

Rebeyrolle has his own Museum, the "Espace Paul Rebeyrolle", located near his birthplace, in Eymoutiers.
