is a French painter and potter (1897-1971). He is the father of artist Ronan-Jim Sevellec. Eugène Sévellec grew up in Camaret-sur-Mer with the artistic colony of the entourage of the writer Saint-Pol-Roux. Very young, he drew the life of the port. Under the influence of Saint-Pol-Roux, he left for Paris, to follow an artistic training with Louis-Marie Désiré-Lucas. During the First World War, he was mobilized in 1916 in the infantry and he served, among other things, as an interpreter with American and Scottish soldiers. This is how his companions give him his artist name "Jim", easier to pronounce than that of Eugene. Jim Sévellec collaborated in 1928 with the Henriot manufacture, a pottery in Quimper. In 1936 he was appointed painter of the Navy. For the Tanguy tower museum, he recreates the past of the city of Brest through dioramas.
