From Deseret News archives:
Francis Hubert Zimbeaux, Utah artist, dies at age 93
Known for his stylized figurative works, often rendered with a mix of drawing and painting, Mr. Zimbeaux also painted fauvist-inspired landscapes in a semi-abstractionist mode.
According to "Utah Painting and Sculpture," he was born in France on July 14, 1913. As an infant he traveled in Europe with his parents and then moved to rural Missouri where the family lived for 11 years.
At age 18, he entered the Civilian Conservation Corps in southern Utah. His favorite job with the CCC was "official bird bander in Zion National Park."
Mr. Zimbeaux served two years in the Air Force during World War II. It was while stationed in the Azores that he developed a theme that persisted throughout his career: figures usually three at the water's edge.
Returning to Utah after his military service, he studied with Bert Pumphrey at the Art Barn School and with LeConte Stewart and Alvin Gittins at the University of Utah.
Mr. Zimbeaux was the recipient of numerous prizes for his art, exhibiting regularly throughout the West in one-man and group shows.
Funeral arrangements are pending.
