Raoul Guiraud was an academically trained naturalist painter with an impressionist and even pointillist influence. Originally from Béziers, he first studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Toulouse (he entered in 1907) with post-impressionist painter Henri Bonis, then in Paris at the Académie Julian with Toulousain Jean Paul Laurens, with whom he had already worked in Toulouse. He also worked with Léon Lhermitte at the Villa des Arts in Montmartre and was influenced in his style by the pointillist Henri Martin.
In 1950, he left for Morocco for two years, a few years after the departure of his daughter and the death of his wife in Morocco in 1947.
This is a souk scene. It shows the fine draftsmanship of an artist who also knew how to paint with light.
The city of Béziers paid tribute to Raoul Guiraud in 2008 at the Musée des Beaux-Arts with a retrospective exhibition entitled "Raoul Guiraud, Un luministe biterrois".
