Further details
Jean Pierre Dubosc (1903-1988) was a consul at the French Embassy in Beijing during the 1930s and 1940s, a connoisseur of Chinese art and the son-in-law of the renowned Chinese art dealer C. T. Loo in Paris. A precursor in promoting Chinese paintings of the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially the literati paintings, to Western museums and collectors, he organized a series of ground-breaking exhibitions in New York, Venice, Frankfurt, Lausanne, Paris and Geneva during the 1940s and 1960s. Parts of his Chinese painting collection are now at the British Museum in London and Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art in Washington.
