Jean-Paul Jérôme RCA (February 18, 1928 – August 14, 2004) was a painter, designer and sculptor, who was a co-founder of Les Plasticiens in 1955.
In 1955 he joined with Belzile, Jauran and Toupin to write the "Manifeste des Plasticiens", a reaction against the paintings of Borduas and his followers towards more geometric structure and control.
While abroad, he met Giacometti and Vasarely and found he shared with artist René Mortensen and others an affinity for a harmony between shapes and colours.
[2] In 1960, Jérôme had a solo show of abstract pastels at Galerie Libre[2] followed by numerous exhibitions at private and public galleries.
When he retired from teaching in 1973 he set up a large studio in his former family home and continued making nonrepresentational art.
