Georges Lacombe
Georges Lacombe (June 18, 1868 – June 29,
1916) was a French sculptor and painter.
Born to a distinguished family of Versailles, he
received his artistic training at the Académie Julian from
the impressionists Alfred Roll and Henri Gervex. There he met Emile
Bernand and Paul Sérusier in 1892, shortly afterwards becoming
a member of their artist group, Les Nabis.
Like many other Nabi he spent the summers from
1888-97 in Brittany, some sources record that he met Bernand and
Sérusier there. He became Le Nabi sculpteur: the sculptor
of the group. In fact many sources refer to him solely as sculptor.
Georges Lacombe died in Alençon, Orne on
June 29, 1916.
