Born in Paris in 1930, Jobert worked as a sculptor, designer, and engraver as well as a painter. He participated in Pierre Bonnard's major exhibition at Baselitz and was included in the Bibliothèque nationale's landmark show "Ten Years of Enrichment of the Cabinet of Prints, 1978–1988" in Paris in 1992 — a significant recognition within the French printmaking world. His work sits in the mid-century French tradition of expressive figuration, with a strong emphasis on gestural mark-making across media.
