Lucien Victor Guirand de Scévola

(French, 1871–1950)

Lucien Victor Guirand De Scévola was a French Symbolist painter best known for his vivid depictions of landscapes, portraits, and still lifes in both oils and pastels. Born on November 14, 1871 in Sète, France, he went on to study under Fernand Cromon and Pierre Dupuis at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris. During World War I, De Scévola was enlisted by the French Army to lead a team of artists in developing new types of camouflage screens to obscure guns from the enemy. The artist derived the word ‘camouflage’ from the French camoufler, meaning to disguise. When describing his approach in creating camouflage he stated, “In order to deform totally the aspect of the object, I had to employ the means that Cubists use to represent it.” Members of his team of camouflage artists included Georges Braque and Andre Mare. De Scévola died on March 29, 1950 in Paris, France.
