Gampert was born 8 February 1884 in Geneva. He learnt painting with Heinrich Knirr in Munich of Maurice and Sérusier. He is known for engraving prints for La locandiera. He was a friend of Roger de La Fresnaye and took care of him until his death. La Fresnaye made several portraits of Gampert, one of them in the collection of the Musée National d'Art Moderne in Paris. Gampert's work was influenced by La Fresnaye's monumental style stemming from synthetic cubism.
From 1925 till 1928 Emile Chambon worked with Gampert, assisting him in his atelier and with decorating the church of Corsier. From 1927, Gampert and Alexandre Cingria lead the École des Pâquis movement, which included artists such as Emilio-Maria Beretta, Albert Chavaz and Paul Monnier.
Jean-Louis Gampert died 7 August 1942 in Geneva.
