Jacques Roland Sokol was a French landscape painter. Of Polish descent, his family settled in France in 1925, coming from Cracow. Born on 3 September 1933 in Loches (Indre-et-Loire), he had a self-taught artistic training, first with his father and from 1947 with Mathurin Méheut (1882-1958). Settled in Senlis (Oise) from 1960, he combined his military career in the air force with painting. He participated regularly in the Salon des Artistes Français as well as in numerous exhibitions in France and abroad. Throughout his artistic career, his style evolved from abstraction to impressionism, until he adopted a more sombre style at the end of his life. His work mainly depicts landscapes of Brittany, Provence, Auvergne and Oise.
