A Romanian-French painter and printmaker whose work, characterized by fantastic elements, belonged to the core of Surrealism.
Short Biography
Hérold, Jacques was born on October 10, 1910, in Piatra Neamț, Romania. After arriving in Paris in 1930, he quickly joined the Surrealist group around André Breton. He became known for his paintings and drawings exploring biometric forms, dreams, and the obsessions of the subconscious, aligning with the automatic and fantastic approach of Surrealism. He participated in major Surrealist exhibitions and remained a loyal member of the movement.
Connection to the Book World
Hérold, Jacques made a significant contribution to Surrealist bibliophily. He illustrated works by Surrealist poets such as Benjamin Péret with etchings and lithographs, often for publishers like GLM. His graphic work, with its dreamlike and precise lines, is an essential example of the Surrealist imagination in the world of illustrated books.
