Paul-Jean-Marie LAFOND (1847-1918)
|
Jean Marie Paul Lafond (July 1, 1847 in Rouen; † September 21, 1918 in Pau) was a French art historian, draughtsman and engraver. His father Jean-Marie Lafond, a merchant, traded in Beaujolais wine. Nothing is known about the education of his son Paul Lafond. From 1900 he was curator of the municipal art museum in Pau and became known as an art historian with publications on Goya (1902), Murillo (1908), Rogier van der Weyden (1912), El Greco (1913), Hieronymus Bosch (1914), and Edgar Degas (1918/19). His second profession, that of engraver, came in handy in designing these art books. Lafond had learned the use of these graphic processes in Louis Capdevielle's atelier. He had initially made engravings from drawings by Camille Corot, Charles-François Daubigny, Charles Jacque, and Alfred Elias, and then made a name for himself with works of his own at the Salon of the Société nationale des beaux-arts. He was a friend of Edgar Degas, who frequently visited Pau. Under the signature P. Lafond, he wrote numerous entries-primarily on Spanish painters and sculptors, but also on decorative art-for volumes 1 to 5 of the General Encyclopedia of Fine Arts from Antiquity to the Present. Paul Lafond served on Pau's city council from 1900 until his death. A square and the media center in Pau were named after him.
