He did the decor for two restaurants in Chicago and painted murals in the Pump Room at the Ambassador East Hotel and in the Emerald and Jade Rooms at the Sherman Hotel in Chicago. From the 1960s–80s, he taught courses in painting and life drawing at the Art Student's League and the National Academy of Design in New York City. Before that, he taught at the University of Southern Illinois, where he was artist-in-residence, the University of Minnesota and ran his own school of art in Chicago. He was a member of the National Academy of Design.

French Expressionist Ecole de Paris Oil Painting Boats on French Riviera
By Jean Vinay
Located in Surfside, FL
Jean Vinay was a self-taught artist though he received artistic guidance from Albert Marquet, the Fauvist, who he knew through his travels in French North Africa. Jean Viney lived from 1907 to 1978. Jean Vinay was from the post war Ecole de Paris along with Pierre Cales, Bram van Velde, Bernard Buffet, Emile Gilioli, Yves Brayer and Camille Hilaire. Bibliography: 4 French realists: André Minaux, Ginette Rapp, Roger Montané, Jean Vinay by Arts Council of Great Britain (1955) Selected French Paintings by Richard Bellias; Bernard Lorjou; André Minaux; Roger Montané; Yvonne Mottet; Jean Vinay Publisher: London : Adams Gallery, 1959. Jean Vinay est un peintre français né le 2 février 1907 et décédé le 23 août 1978. Après des études secondaires, il se passionne pour l’art. Dès 1933, il s’établit dans Paris, à Montmartre et décide de devenir peintre. Il travaille avec acharnement, se formant principalement dans les musées. Dès le début de l’occupation allemande, il se rend à Alger chez un ami d’enfance et rencontre Albert Marquet qui lui prête son atelier. Il devient vite un grand nom de la peinture et sera reconnu par tous comme étant “Le peintre de Paris”. C’est à L'Albenc qu’il repose depuis 1978 où il vécut près de sa mère en partageant sa vie entre Paris et l'Albenc. Une importante donation au département de l’Isère, a donné naissance au Musée Jean Vinay qui ouvrait ses portes en 1979 à Saint-Antoine-l'Abbaye en Isère.
