Jacques VILLON, of his real name Gaston Emile DUCHAMP, is a French Cubist painter engraver. He learns very soon drawing and engraving with his grandfather, Emilie Nicolle. He creates humoristic
drawings for the press and takes his pseudonym on this occasion. He frequents the Ecole nationale des beaux-arts dans l'atelier de Cormon (1895). Jacques VILLON exhibits his work at the Salon
d'Automne in 1903. He installs himself with his brothers in Puteaux in 1906 and receives numerous artists in his workshop where the group of the Section d'or (1911-1925) is formed. Towards 1908, he
painted his first Cubist paintings.
