Galerie Jacques Dubourg
Galerie Jacques Dubourg was a Paris gallery founded by Jacques Dubourg between 1927 and 1929 at 126 boulevard Haussmann. Initially, the gallery specialized in Impressionist and nineteenth-century painting; over time, its program shifted toward contemporary artists.
Unlike other Paris galleries of contemporary art, the Jacques Dubourg gallery was not considered a central or fashionable venue of the Paris art world; however, Dubourg maintained close personal relationships with artists and provided sustained moral support. He played a particularly important role in the career of Nicolas de Staël.
The gallery exhibited artists including André Lanskoy, Sam Francis, Georges Mathieu, Jean-Paul Riopelle, and Joan Mitchell. In 1962, Mitchell held a solo exhibition at Galerie Jacques Dubourg. The gallery remained active within the postwar Paris art scene until its closure in 1973
