Concerts Colonne
Neuberth's mother was a French teacher at Lycée Lakanal and a first-rate harpsichordist, his father was a first violin of Concerts Colonne, a vila alta soloist, which explains his early orientation for music and jazz in particular. An encounter with abstract painter, Henri-Jean Closon (Liège 1888 - Paris 1975) made him discover painting. On seeing him again in 1941 he decided in 1942 to devote all his time to painting. During the 70's, he abandons gouache and centers his works on sketching and pasting. In spite of several health problems such as a hemiplegia, he never abandoned his artistic expression until his death in 1996.
