The life of Jean Dupas   

Jean Théodore Dupas (1882-1964) was a 20th-century French painter and artist, little known today despite the growing interest in his work.

Born in Bordeaux, he studied art at the École des Beaux-Arts, then at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 1910, he was awarded the Prix de Rome. He was then trained by Carolus-Duran at the Villa Médicis. In 1940, he was appointed curator of the Musée Marmottan and elected to the Académie des Beaux-Arts the following year.

He produces paintings, drawings and prints, but also works as a decorator and illustrator for various buildings and fashion magazines.

With Ruhlmann, he decorated the liners Île de France and Liberté.

He died in Paris in 1964. 

The legacy of Jean Dupas   

Jean Dupas did not leave a significant mark on the art history of his time, having prioritized his own artistic development over success. His works are nevertheless highly prized on the auction market, as they are particularly characteristic of the Art Deco movement.

Private collectors play a major role in the preservation of his work, given the scope of his production, even if some of his works are exhibited in museums. 

Recognizing the Dupas signature

Artists do not always sign their works. If you think you own one, it's best to have it appraised. The signature may differ depending on the type of work: print, drawing or painting. There are also copies, which is why an appraisal is important.
