Biography

The artist was born in Paris.[2] He studied at the Beaux-Arts. Joseph-Felix Bouchor exhibited his works at the Salon des Artistes Francais in 1878. During World War I, he was embedded with the allied troop and realized many military paintings depicting French and American infantry, cavalry and air forces in action on the frontline. He is famous for his portraits of General John Pershing (1860–1948),[3] French President Georges Clemenceau [4] and his illustrations of the American Expeditionary Force during World War I.

After the war, Joseph-Felix Bouchor travelled to North Africa and painted orientalist topics. His works belong to many public collections, including the Orsay Museum in Paris, the Museums of Beaux-Arts in Marseille, Angers, Vannes[5] and Nantes, France.[6] Many artworks belong to the collection of the musée national de la coopération Franco-américaine in Blérancourt, France.[7]

gollark: That seems like an issue of the actual processing it's doing (though I don't think there's a consensus on what exactly hypnosis is and how it works), instead of the hardware.
gollark: I'm not sure I would trust my brain to computers in any case, given the horrible security record of... most complex computer systems... which will likely only get worse as complexity increases. Though I suppose my foolish organic brain has its own (probably not remotely exploitable, at least?) security flaws.
gollark: SSDs are pretty dense. They're just expensive.
gollark: Hopefully brains parallelize well.
