Jean-Louis Forain was a French painter, graphic artist and caricaturist of impressionism. He was born in Reims in Eastern France.
Forain's family moved to Paris when he was eight years old. There he soon began working as a caricaturist for various magazines such as Le Monde Parisien and Le Rire Satirique. He became a student at the École des Beaux-Arts art school in Paris. There he studied with Jean-Léon Gérôme and Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux among others. Forain's models included Honoré Daumier, Claude Monet, Edgar Degas and Édouard Manet. He became friends with several well-known writers such as Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine. As protégé of Edgar Degas, Forain exhibited his paintings for the first time in 1879 at the Salon de Paris. Until 1891 he was regularly represented there. He mainly painted scenes of everyday, modern Parisian life: the people, the cafés and entertainment establishments, the racetrack. Forain is the most famous caricaturist of the Belle époque, he drew for Figaro for about 30 years.
In his later years, Forain created many snapshots of the Palace of Justice and other Parisian authorities, as well as socially critical caricatures. In 1889 Forain founded the satirical magazine Le Fifre, of which 15 issues were published with a circulation of only ten copies each. From 1891 Forain was married to the painter and sculptor Jeanne Bosc. In 1923 Forain was elected member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts and president of the philanthropic association République de Montmartre. From 1930 he was an honorary member of the Royal Academy of Arts in London. He was also commander of the Legion of Honour.
Jean-Louis Fourain died at the age of 78 in Paris as one of the most famous and respected French artists of his time.
