He attended the Brassart school then the École des Beaux-Arts in Bourges. In the 80s, he moved to the United States. He buys the Art Café in New York where he organizes several exhibitions, including Jeff Koons and Andy Warhol, before opening the Magnifik Gallery in the late 90s. Jacques Halbert lives in France since the 2000s. His art is characterized by two guidelines: performance and painting. His plastic work is reduced almost exclusively to applying one or more cherries on a monochrome canvas. Jacques Halbert himself defines this neo-Dadaist and often parodic stance of the artist's figure as "a manifesto of good taste". This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
