Biography

A Post-Impressionist and Impressionist painter, Lebacq was alternately a watercolourist, pastellist and portrait, landscape and still life painter. He also painted church interiors (stained-glass windows and paintings). Certain works as "Lumière d'été à Vaux-le-Pénil" or "Le Repos en Terrasse" are impressionist. Initially self-taught, he first exhibited while a soldier during World War I. After the war he enrolled as a student at the Académie Julian at Paris in 1920, and thereafter worked mainly in France.

Work

Most of the paintings of Lebacq are in the "Musée de la Venerie" in Senlis or in private collections. Until recently, paintings of this artist were rather rare on the Art market. Emma Lebacq, wife of the painter, was a wealthy person. So she granted him for devoting body and soul to the painting but not to trade it.
