A prolific painter, decorator and illustrator, and a talented colorist, Jean Bouchaud was deeply influenced by his stays overseas.
The artist's career took a decisive turn when, as an unsuccessful competitor for the Prix de Rome, he discovered North Africa. Winner of the Abd-el-Tif Prize in 1921, he lived for two years in the "Villa Médicis" in Algiers.
Two trips followed, to Indochina in 1924, then to French West Africa in 1932. His constant participation in exhibitions, the large-scale works carried out for exhibitions, notably the Colonial Exhibition in Paris in 1931, for the ocean liner Normandie and the Messageries Maritimes, established the artist's official recognition. A member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, Jean Bouchaud honored commissions marked by his extra-European discoveries from the interwar period until the 1960s.
