When I began taking Jacques Fabert's figure drawing class at the Princeton Art Association, I was a complete beginner. I moved from the Princeton area several months later, but during that time Jacques taught me more than I was to learn from any subsequent teacher.

Having Jacques as an instructor was without a doubt the best educational experience of my lifetime. He listened with sincerity and genuinely cared. He gently guided and provided encouragement when I got frustrated. Witnessing his respectful and helpful manner towards all served as a great role model to me and made me proud to tell everyone that he was my teacher. His insight and perceptiveness at times absolutely astonished me. I felt like he really understood me. One of my fondest memories is that of sharing a walk around the studio he and his wife shared, and quietly viewing the pieces of others while they were working. His analysis opened my eyes to seeing what I guess you could call the nomothetical existing alongside the idiographic. That was cool. Such a fine human being as himself made exploring being humanly creative both fun and enlightening. I am very sad that I never got a letter off to him expressing my thanks again after so many years, yet I will always be appreciative of my time spent learning from him amidst others similarly huddled together for the purpose of creative enterprise. In that studio was a small sign, perhaps a clipping, that read "Art is for the spirit". I often think about that sign and how much it sums up not only my experience, but what I wish everyone could enjoy.

So very sad to hear of Jacques passing. He was my teacher at the SF Art Academy in the 70s. I also have some found memories of studying under him in Mexico. I'll remember him until it is my time to go. Love the man!
