biography: Painter and illustrator, born in Reims, NE France. He exhibited four times with the Impressionists during 1879–96. Influenced by his friends Manet and Dégas, he painted mainly interior scenes, but from 1876 achieved popular fame through his illustrations for various satirical papers in Paris. These depicted Parisian life, and he later concentrated on social inequalities and injustices. He also illustrated the New Testament.
