Bocquet), the artist obtained at the age of 17 the first prize of the School of Fine Arts, then at 19 that of drawing at the school of the Beaux-Arts in Paris. He also distinguished himself in architecture and in the restoration of old paintings.

From 1958, he exhibited throughout France and Singapore. He won numerous gold medals in painting fairs and his realistic painting excelled in all the subjects he dealt with: nudes, animals, flowers, landscapes, scenes of everyday life, seascapes ...

Many museums exhibit his paintings: Monaco Art Museum, Saint-Flour, Grasse. Robert Pavard received the Academic Palms and the Diplôme d'Honneur Avignon. He died in Nîmes on September 1, 2009 at the age of 87.
