Doucet

Jacques Doucet was born in Boulogne-sur-Seine in 1924 and died in Paris in 1994. During World War II, Doucet was interned as a political prisoner. This experience had a profound influence on his work as an artist. After his release, Jacques Doucet studied at the academy in Montparnasse. In 1947, he met the artist Corneille, who introduced Doucet to the Dutch Experimental Group. In 1948, he joined the CoBrA group. Later, Jacques Doucet’s paintings became increasingly abstract. He also used all kinds of materials. His work was regularly featured in exhibitions in France, Belgium, Denmark, and the Netherlands.
