Early life and career
Charrier was born in Metz in 1936. His father, Joseph Jules Léon Charrier, was a career military officer. His mother was Marie Marguerite (née Vullaume) Charrier.[1]
He first studied pottery at the École supérieure des arts décoratifs de Strasbourg. After several years, he moved to Paris to study at the Conservatoire national supérieur d'art dramatique.[1]
In 1980 he returned to the School of Fine Arts, and went back to painting that was full of references to his two passions, travel and antiquity. His art work has been regularly exhibited in Paris, Geneva and San Francisco. With the publication of the memoirs of Brigitte Bardot, he found himself in the media spotlight. He sued for "violation of privacy", and was successful.[2]
