'''Pierre Joubert''' (June 27, 1910 - January 13, 2002) was a [[France|French]] [[illustrator]]. He was closely associated with the creation of [[Scouting]] and the popular look of [[Scoutisme Français|Boy Scouts]] in France and [[Belgium]], comparable to the American artist [[Norman Rockwell]].

==Biography==

Pierre Joubert was born in [[Paris]]. Joubert was a young Scout himself, and attended the [[École des arts appliqués]] in Paris. His first amateur drawings appeared in ''[[Scouts et Guides de France|Scouts de France]]'' in 1926. He graduated to the magazine ''[[L'Illustration]]'' in 1927 through 1934, but continued increasingly to focus on Scout-centered art in Scouting publications.

Joubert also was an illustrator of boys' adventure [[novel]]s, particularly the ''[[Signe de Piste]]'' (''Trail Sign'') line (where he works with [[René Follet]]). The style of Joubert's illustrations depicted idealized boys experiencing the glories of Scouting and ''kammaradeschaft''. Joubert is considered, owing to his eye for trend and his mass-market exposure, to have had reflective influence on boy-culture in France from the 1930s until the close of the 1960s.

Joubert has had his controversial side; in the 1940s, the [[Nazism|Nazis]] banned all French Scouting but through [[Vichy France|Vichy]]; thus, Joubert worked with Vichy and has been tarred with "collaboration." He also did work for some [[right-wing]] [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholic]] journals and, as with any artist, the particulars of his patrons have been imputed to him. Not long before his death, Joubert produced a large volume of memoirs and reprinted art, ''Souvenirs en vrac''. He died in [[La Rochelle]] at age 91.
