Draughtsman at the mines of Carmaux, he met the "father Artigue", pupil of J.P Laurens and friend of Henri Martin, who engaged him to come and study in Paris. He became a student of Pierre and Paul-Albert Laurens at the Académie Julian in 1925. He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français, then, from 1928, at the Indépendants and the Salon d'Automne. The artist was invited to the Salon des Tuileries, and, in 1936, was asked to form the 14th group of "Artists of this time", at the Petit Palais. In 1937, he decorated the Languedoc Pavilion at the Universal Exhibition as well as other decorative panels. Jules Cavaillès painted by juxtaposing pure colors. Initially influenced by the Fauves, he followed a path that was common to many French painters of the interwar period, abandoning the intensity and spirit of research for the joy of living. He often exhibited with painters who could be said to be of the "Poetic Reality" (Brianchon, Legeult, Oudot), attached to the representation of reality whose familiar beauty they wanted to celebrate. Today, some of his paintings can be admired in various museums such as: Albi, Montpellier, Toulouse, Chicago, Helsinski and Zurich." Source Estades Gallery
