Georges Lacombe (original) (raw)
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 Acad�mie Julian from the impressionists Alfred Roll and Henri Gervex. There he met Emile Bernand and Paul S�rusier 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 S�rusier there. He became Le Nabi sculpteur: the sculptor of the group. In fact many sources refer to him solely as sculptor.
