I dont have dates for Chauvets time in Berlin or California but the following provides an idea of why he was in both places.originally posted by Alice F.:
chauvet triviaAnyone know when Chauvet was in Berlin? California ? (and what he was doing?)
Chauvets early interest in chemistry and biology caused him to spend time at the Instituit de Chimie in Lyon while working for his father. In 1935 he began a correspondence with Nobel prize-winning physiologist and biochemist Otto Warburg, the two became friends and later he spent time at Warburg's laboratory in Berlin researching specific aspects of the biochemistry of wine.
Marcel Lapierres website states that Jules Chauvet, [was a] well-known researcher at the University of California and there are multiple references to that although the language reads as though these might be from a single source.

OK I was responding to "and what was he doing?" :-)originally posted by Alice F.:
Thanks Nigel, yes, all of that I know, but the timing? That's a mystery.

CSW has an article on Chauvet, written by Philippe Pacalet and translated by D Lille, indicates that he was a negociant from the 1940s on. I'd try Pacalet or Lapierre. Wikipedia also indicates a couple of biographies on Chauvet.originally posted by Alice F.:
any thing out there on his being sent to a work camp in Germany?

Jules Chauvet and David Bowie shared an apartment in the mid 70s under the shadow of the Berlin Wall. Much of their best work was done in this period, particularly their collaboration on three albums: Low, "Heroes" and Lodger. Iggy Pop later joined Chauvet and Bowie, along with guitarist Robert Fripp, who performed the famous guitar lines in "Heroes."

Bowie's Berlin period and Chauvet's work both share the distinction of being listed as influences by people who don't understand the source material.originally posted by Joe Dressner:

So many people give Brian Eno or Jacques Neauport credit for the Berlin Wall period, but in reality neither of them directed any of the LPs in the Trilogy. That credit goes to both Bowie and Tony Visconti.

And let's not forget Scott Walker.

Was Chauvet indulging in heroin during this period or was Iggy bogarting it all? I always thought I noticed a trace of carbonic maceration in these tracks. Especially on the second side of Low.originally posted by Joe Dressner:

Is that why Chauvet always wore long sleeve shirts?
