Early life
Born to a distinguished family of Versailles, he received his artistic training at the Académie Julian from the impressionists Alfred Philippe Roll and Henri Gervex.
The Nabis
At the Académie Julian he met Émile Bernard 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 1888-1897 in Brittany, some sources record that he met Bernard and Sérusier there. He became Le Nabi sculpteur: the sculptor of the group. In fact many sources refer to him solely as sculptor.

gollark: I mean this semiunironically. It is *already* possible to generate fairly artistic images automatically via CLIP+VQGAN and similar things. This will only improve over time. Because people often like knowing that people went to some effort to make a thing, though (see handmade goods, etc.) there will probably be demand for human art anyway.
