Eugène Robert Pougheon was born in Paris in 1886, studied with Jean-Paul Laurens and Albert Besnard at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and with Charles Lameire at the School of Decorative Arts.
In 1914, he won the Prix de Rome. His departure for Rome was delayed by the Great War but he ended up reaching Villa Medici. With Jean Dupas, Jean Despujols and Alfred Janniot, he is part of the “Rome Group” formed at the turn of the 1920s and which is characterized by maintaining an academic line and adopting the strictest Art Deco modernity.
A major exhibition was dedicated to him in 2017 at the Pool Museum in Roubaix.
