Henri Therme was born on May 28 1900 in Le Creusot from an old Burgundian family. He lived in Paris from his childhood. His parents destined him for the profession of engineer, but very early on, he truned to painting.
He abandoned his engineering studies to devote himself entir
...ely to the arts in 1925. He entered the Beaux-Arts in Paris, then the Academy of Montmartre under the tuition of Yvan Cerf, Jean Puy and Charles Camoin. Yvan Cerf instilled in him a taste for geometry and architecture, which will cause the artist to fall in love with the theories and the fragmented universe of Cubism.
He was president of the Society of Friends of the Arts of Yonne, a member of the editorial board of the publication Le Peintre, the collector''s guide, and editor for many years of a section devoted to the arts in the daily L''Yonne republican and the newspaper Terres Latines. He was also an editor for the artistic and literary magazine Le Groupe.
He suffered a heart attack in January 1967. He died in his house in Mont-Saint-Sulpice, ''le beacon vert'', on October 18, 1973.
