JEAN DUPAS (1882-1964) 180 c “THENCE TOHYDE PARK, WHERE MUCH GOOD COMPANY, AND MANY FINE LADIES.” 1930. 40x50 inches, 101 1 / 2 x127 cm. Johnson, Riddle & Co. Ltd., London. Condition B+ / B: mat staining, restored losses and overpainting in margins; repaired tears and creases in margins and image and along vertical and horizontal folds; repaired pin holes in corners; colors attenuated; toned. Dupas enjoyed working in large formats (he has been quoted as saying “the larger my work, the happier I am”); his murals adorned some of the great French ocean liners of the era (the Normandie , the Ile de France and the Liberté ) and the French Pavilion at the New York World’s Fair. Many of his smaller works still bear a mural-like feeling and composition. Richmond p. 115. [15,000/20,000]
