Boussingault, Jean-Louis
(b Paris, 9 March 1883; d Paris, 17 May 1943). French painter and illustrator. He was trained in Paris at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs and then at the Académie Julian. In 1901 he studied lithography and from 1902 to 1903 did his military service, through which he met André Dunoyer de Segonzac. In 1904 he studied under Luc Olivier Merson and Jean-Paul Laurens at the Académie Julian with Dunoyer de Segonzac and there met Luc-Albert Moreau. These three artists became close friends and adopted a similar naturalist style that was maintained through the rise of Cubism. From 1906 to 1908 Boussingault shared a studio with Dunoyer de Segonzac, and in the summer of 1908 all three went on a painting trip to St Tropez.
