Jean Aubéry went from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Marseille to the Parisian workshops of Gérome, Himbert, Duffaud and was awarded the Chenavard prize in 1904 for his "Retour de Pêche".
A drawing teacher at the Société de l'Enseignement Moderne, he felt nostalgia for his "country" and returned to Marseille.
He was then found in all the local salons and at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1905 to 1940, where he received numerous awards: "Honorable Mention", Paul Liot Prize, and Silver Medal in 1931, Cyrille Besset Prize in 1934, and Gold Medal in 1937 for "le Quai de Rive Neuve Marseille" and "Dans mon jardin".
He had been noticed early on for his solid drawing, powerful modeling, and lively construction of subjects such as: "the salt unloaders", "the lavender pickers".
