Jacques Nestlé was born in 1907 in Saarbrücken, in 1925 he moved to Berlin where he was influenced by the Bauhaus school and the avant-garde artists of the time such as Kandinsky and Paul Klee. In 1933 he moved to France and joined many artists in Paris, where the revolution in modern art had already been underway since the mid-19th century. In Paris, Henri Matisse noticed his works, encouraged him and inspired him in a lasting way. Subsequently, the art dealer and collector, Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, wanted to promote him as he did with Picasso, Braque, Derain or Gris. Jacques Nestlé, who says of him that he is "neither a painter nor an artist, simply a man who paints", did not follow up on Kahnweiler's proposal.
Jacques Nestlé is the painter of colours and shapes, in that he follows the same artistic line as some of his contemporaries such as Kandinsky, Mondrian or Miró. His nudes, sometimes stylized to the extreme, where the female forms are made up of coloured lines and contours, recall the curves of Matisse's nudes or the anatomical composition of Picasso's cubist nudes.
