Artist Biography
Jacques Wely (1873 - 1910)
André-Jacques Marie Videcoq-Wély dit Jacques Wély, born May 26, 1873 in Paris and died June 18, 1910 in Meudon,
is a French painter, cartoonist and illustrator, one of the most prolific of the Belle Époque.
Son of a merchant, Jacques Wély, was born on May 26, 1873 in the 19th arrondissement of Paris1.
After trying a commercial career in China, he signed his first “Made” drawings in Paris in 1896 and then met Edmond Vernier who signed “Dola”: the duo then produced illustrations under the name “Madola” intended for booklets by operettas, which they first produced in their lithographic workshop. Between 1897 and 1904, under the only pen name "Jacques Wély", he executed a number of sheet music covers, among others for the Parisian publisher Enoch.
Around the same time, he delivered a growing number of cartoons to most satirical and light newspapers. He also engages in the production of paintings, offering for example 12 paintings at the Salon des humoristes in 1909. Member of the National Society of Fine Arts, his gouaches show humorous or tender couple scenes, portraits of women, a few. still lifes, which sometimes fall within the lineage of Post-Impressionism.In 1908, he opened a new workshop in Montfort-l'Amaury, but, suffering from tuberculosis, he died two years later, on June 18, 1910 in his home in Meudon2. He is buried in the Longs-Réages cemetery in Meudon (division B) 3.
Illustrator for the publishing and press houses Rouff, Albin Michel, Jules Tallandier and Pierre Lafitte, he became an essential cartoonist of their periodicals.
