Jacques Dupin
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Jacques Dupin (March 4, 1927 in Privas, Ardèche – October 27, 2012 in Paris) was a French poet, art critic, and co-founder of the journal L'éphemère.[1][2][3]
Dupin was born in the town of Privas in the South of France, where his father was a psychiatrist at a state mental hospital. In 1944, the family moved to Paris, where, in 1950, the poet René Char helped him publish his first collection of poems.[4]
In 1966, he co-founded the poetry quarterly L’Éphémère, with poets including André du Bouchet, Yves Bonnefoy and Paul Celan.[4]
He was the director of publication at Galerie Maeght,[2] which represented Joan Miró, a close friend. The gallery also represented Marc Chagall, Alberto Giacometti, Francis Bacon and Wassily Kandinsky.[4] Giacometti and Bacon both painted his portrait.[4]
Dupin wrote Miró's biography, numerous monographs on the artist's work, and was empowered by Miró's family to be the sole authenticating authority of the artist's work; a role that made him much sought after by collectors.[5] In 1987, Dupin was the curator of a retrospective of Miró's work at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the first such retrospective in New York since 1959.[6]
