Jouenne is considered a master of modern figurative painting and of the medium he works with using both brush and palette knife.
The son of an engineer and a porcelain decorator at the Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory, Michel Jouenne attended the Lycée Claude-Bernard in Paris. He created his first gouaches as early as 1947, and two years later made his debut at the Salon de Versailles, presenting three gouaches, one of which received an award.
In 1955, he passed the competitive exam to become a drawing teacher for the City of Paris. In 1956, he created his first oil paintings.
In September 1957, Michel Jouenne married Simone Baril, with whom he would have three sons: Christian, François, and Bernard. That year, he produced numerous still lifes featuring game and poultry. In 1958, he was drafted and served fourteen months of military service in Kabylie (Algeria), where he produced quick sketches. In 1961, he joined Bernard Conte in the artists’ group L’Atelier de Ville-d’Avray.
In 1969, he participated for the first time in the Salon des peintres témoins de leur temps (Exhibition of Painters as Witnesses of Their Time), whose theme that year was “Research and Discovery in Modern Science.” He taught drawing at the Collège des Ormaux in Fontenay-aux-Roses (Hauts-de-Seine) in the 1970s. Jouenne was appointed Painter to the Navy in 1991. Among his closest fellow painters are Maurice Boitel, Daniel du Janerand, Louis Vuillermoz, Pierre-Henry, Jean Carzou, André Hambourg, Emilio Grau Sala, Jean Monneret, Rodolphe Caillaux, and Paul Collomb.
