Jean Dupas
Art Deco charcoal drawing by Jean Dupas of The Triumph of Venus, 1933

1933

About the Item

Jean Dupas (French, 1882-1964) The Triumph of Venus charcoal on paper signed and dated '33/JEAN DUPAS' (lower right) 25 x 31.1/8 in. (63.5 x 79 cm.) Dupas was born in Bordeaux. He won the prix de Rome in 1910. His personal style ranges from academic and/or neoclassicism. Dupas has worked in various exponents of the Nouveau and Deco areas, such as the fashion magazine Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. In the 1930s, Dupas was commissioned by Frank Pick to produce the artwork for a series of posters for the underground network of London Transport. Once you have seen his work, it is easy to recognize a "Dupas woman" - the hair is stylized, her eyes are almond shaped, the mouth is small but full, and her neck is always elegantly elongated. Andy Warhol collected works by many Art Deco artists, especially the work of Jean Dupas. Perhaps the flatness of Dupas' work attracted Warhol in its relationship to the surfaces of the paintings of the Pop Art movement .
