Jean-Gabriel Domergue :
Jean-Gabriel Domergue was a french painter trained at the Paris National School of Fine Arts. In 1938, he created a composition with a naked young woman for the new perfume "Féerie" by Rigaud. The following year, he created a poster for the first Cannes Film Festival. In 1950, he is named member of the Institut de France, and became the curator of the Musée Jacquemart-André from 1955 to 1962. The parisian woman was one of his favourite subjects, he refered to himself as the "inventor of the pin-up". Nadine Lhopitalier, (Nadine de Rothschild) was one of his models. The artist died in 1962 in Paris.
Stencil :
The stencil is a printing technique made using a cover (in zinc for example) that prevents paint or ink from flowing. The stencil is then applied to the printed proof by etching, lithography, screen printing or phototyping. Many stencils must be traced and cut to obtain an accurate reproduction of the work.
