His father, Charles-Albert Aubry, came from Franche-Comté and was sent to Setif as Lieutenant in the French Army.^[2] However he decided to settle there, where he became a local physician. His mother was born to French parents who had settled there thirty years previously. Émile grew up there with his brother Georges, before attending boarding school in Paris.^[2]

In 1935 he was elected to the Académie des Beaux-Arts.
