Born in 1924 in Boulogne sur Seine in France. Jacques Doucet started drawing
very early and urged by friends he started painting in 1942. Inspired
by Picasso, Matisse, Miro and especially Paul Klee, Jacques Doucet found
his own spontanic way of expression originated in childrens drawings with
motifs often inhabited by stick figures and animals.
In 1945-1946 he was very shortly and unprofitable involved in the belgian-french
group Le Surréalisme Révolutionnaire, but during a stay
in Budapest in 1947, he by coincidence met Corneille. Through Corneille
he got in touch with a group of artists that shared his style of expression,
and this group founded Nederlandse Experimentele Group in 1948. Later
that year as Nederlandse Experimentele Group became the dutch part of
Cobra, he joined the international movement as well as the rest of the
group.
