French poet and art critic
Jacques Dupin (4 March 1927,Privas,Ardèche – 27 October 2012,Paris) was a Frenchpoet, art critic, and co-founder of the journalL'éphemère.[1][2][3]
Dupin was born in the town ofPrivas in theSouth of France, where his father was a psychiatrist at a state mental hospital. In 1944, the family moved to Paris, where, in 1950, the poetRené Char helped him publish his first collection of poems.[4]
In 1966, he co-founded the poetry quarterly L’Éphémère, with poets includingAndré du Bouchet,Yves Bonnefoy andPaul Celan.[4]
He was the director of publication atGalerie Maeght,[2] which representedJoan Miró, a close friend. The gallery also representedMarc Chagall,Alberto Giacometti,Francis Bacon andWassily 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 thecurator of a retrospective of Miró's work at theSolomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the first suchretrospective inNew York since 1959.[6]
