DOMERGUE Jean-Gabriel
Born in 1889 in Bordeaux - Died in 1962 in Paris.
Painter of figures, nudes, portraits, landscapes, flowers, gouache painter, watercolorist, draftsman, poster artist.
Jean-Gabriel DOMERGUE was a student at the School of Fine Arts in Paris of an impressive number of professors of the time: Jules Lefebvre, Tony Robert-Fleury, Jules Adler, Fernand Humbert, François Flameng.
Jean-Gabriel DOMERGUE seemed, at the beginning, to be destined for a career as a landscape painter, but he soon became the painter of nudes and half-nudes, with a moderate aggressiveness, a mischievous coquetry, which made his reputation and his fortune with a bourgeois clientele more polite than liberated, whose ultimate audacity consisted in sending the wife for a portrait; Whatever she was, the portrait executed with a suspicious virtuosity revealed her thin, as if stretched, the bust slung forward in a movement of offer, the protruding chest slightly unveiled by inadvertence, the arched loins in a tight toilet, a swan's neck surmounted by a fardé face, with a mischievous nose, of a Parisian woman who was a passe-partout, between conspicuous elegance and hidden vulgarity.
Jean-Gabriel DOMERGUE exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1906, at the age of 17, which suggests a great precocious skill, which his work has not denied. Jean-Gabriel DOMERGUE won a gold medal in 1920. In 1927, he moved to a sumptuous villa in the hills of Cannes.
