Jules Eugene Pages (1867-1946)

Jules Eugène Pages was a prominent landscape and marine painter.  Pages spent most of his career in France, where he was a well-known Impressionist painter. Still, he maintained close ties to his native city of San Francisco and was influential in introducing that painting style to Northern California.

Jules Eugène Pages was born in San Francisco, California, on May 16, 1867, and was raised in the artistic milieu of his father’s (Jules Francois Pages) engraving business, where he worked as an apprentice.  In 1888 he sailed to Paris to study at Academie Julian under Jules Lefebvre, Benjamin Constant, and Fleury. After returning to San Francisco, he worked as an illustrator for the Examiner and Call newspapers.  Upon returning to Paris in 1902, Jules Pages began teaching night classes at the Academie Julian and served as its director.  Pages gained international recognition while in France and were made a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor in 1910.  In 1915 Pages exhibited at the Panama Pacific International Exposition and was a member of the International Jury of Awards.  Although he remained in France for forty years, he returned to his native city often to visit and exhibit.  At the outbreak of World War II, Pages returned to San Francisco and died on May 22, 1946.

Jules Eugène Pages was a member of the Bohemian Club, International Society of Sculptors & Painters in Paris.  He exhibited at the Paris Salon, 1895 with honorable mention and won Gold Medals in 1899 and 1905.  He also exhibited at the Steckel Gallery in Los Angeles in 1909; at the Bohemian Club, 1924, solo exhibition; the California Palace of Legion of Honor, 1946 memorial exhibition.
