About Jacques Poirier
Jacques Poirier (1928–2002) was a French master painter who lived in Paris near Saint-Germain-des-Prés. His mother was a painter so he claimed with irony that he always sniffed turpentine between breastfeeds. He joined the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 1945. Poirier came to painting quite late after a successful career as an illustrator. His paintings were done in the realist trompe-l'œil style with a mastery and a poetry rarely seen in this genre. He became a member of "Trompe-l'œil and Reality", the group of realist painters created by Henri Cadiou. His good friend fr:Pierre Gilou shared in a comment how Poirier was quickly accepted in the group back in 1970.
