Georges Dargouge (1897 - 1990)

Georges Dargouge was a pupil of Cormon, Humbert and Fouqueray, and exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français, winning a third medal in 1924 and a second medal in 1930. Georges Dargouge is a complete painter, with a reporter's temperament when he becomes official painter of the Army in 1959. A professor at the École Polytechnique for 20 years, he loved teaching above all else in his studio on rue Bartholdi in Paris. He painted scenes from the life of fishermen in Brittany, but also procession scenes, again practising his profession as a true reporter.
