Jean-Emile Laboureur left to study in Paris in 1895. Registered in law school, he preferred to frequent artists, notably the engraver Auguste Lepère, Toulouse-Lautrec, Guillaume Apollinaire, Marie Laurencin. He travelled to Germany, North America, Greece and Turkey. He settled in Paris in 1912. His drawing is similar to cubism around 1912-1913. Mobilized in 1914, he nevertheless continued to create and drew inspiration from his experience for many subsequent works. A ploughman experimented with the chisel technique for the illustration of Roger Allard's L'Appartement des jeunes filles in 1919.
