The DOMERGUE Collection
Jean-Gabriel (1889-1962) was a painter and…from Bordeaux. His brother, René DOMERGUE, has just bequeathed his collection to the Musée des Beaux Arts (Fine Arts Museum) of his hometown. Jean-Gabriel would spend the final part of his life at the Jacquemart-André Museum where he was the curator. His collection mainly consists of works from the turning point between the 19th and 20th Centuries. Valtat, Friesz, Vlaminck, Marquet, Bonnard, Mary Cassatt, Berthe Morizot, and Renoir (with two landscapes) are in their rightful place. M.ch.H
