Claude Terrasse
Terrasse was born in L'Arbresle, Rhône. He became known by writing the music for the play Ubu Roi by Alfred Jarry in 1896. In Paris, his brother-in-law, the painter Pierre Bonnard, introduced him to the artistic world and the avant-garde literature and art of the time. Bonnard also did several portraits of him.
In 1890, Terrasse married Andrée Bonnard, sister of the artist Pierre Bonnard.[1] By 1899, they had six children, several of whom appear in Bonnard paintings.[2] Their son Charles Terrasse published a monograph on Bonnard in 1927.[1]
Terrasse died in Paris, and was buried in the Montmartre Cemetery.
