Jean-Gabriel Domergue
(1889 – 1962)
G'day folks,
This artist was a French painter who specialised in portraits of Parisian women and
claimed to be “the inventor of the pin-up”. In 1911, he was a winner of
the Prix de Rome and also designed clothes for the couturier Paul
Poiret. From 1955 until 1962 he was the curator of the Musée Jacquemart-André,

He died 16 November 1962 on a Paris sidewalk.
