Gabriel Deluc (born October 1, 1883 in Saint-Jean-de-Luz , † September 15, 1916 in Souain-Perthes-lès-Hurlus ) was a French painter from the Basque Country . His birthplace was close to the Spanish border.
Jean-Marie Gabriel Deluc was born to Jean-Baptiste Deluc and Marie-Baptiste Davagnier. His talent was noticed by the painter Léon Bonnat , who recommended him in 1898 to Philippe Jolyet, director of the Bayonne Municipal Drawing School .
In 1900 he came to Bonnat's studio in Paris and was admitted to the Éçole des beaux-arts de Paris in 1903 . From 1904 to 1912 he lived in the La Ruche artists' colony in the 15th arrondissement of Paris.
There he made friends with artists who had come from Russia, such as Ossip Zadkine , Marc Chagall and above all Alexander Altman , who often visited him in the Basque Country in summer. The Lorraine sculptor Charles Arthur Muller , also a resident of La Ruche, created his bust.
In 1906 he exhibited for the first time in the Salon des Artistes Français and received an honorable mention. He also received a “special encouragement” of CHF 500. He then regularly took part in the Salon des artistes français and the Salon des Independants .
In 1908 Deluc gave his hometown a large decorative painting: "Le Chevrier" (The Goatherd). His large painting “The Dance” was presented in 1910 at the Salon des artistes français. In 1912 he exhibited in the Casino of Saint-Jean-de-Luz. In 1913, a large part of his work was exhibited in the Édouard Devambez gallery.
On September 3, 1913, he married Thérèse Mahé before the mayor of the 15th arrondissement.
Gabriel Deluc was called to military service at the beginning of the First World War , initially as a nurse. On March 5, 1916, he was promoted to sergeant and in June 1916 to sub-lieutenant. Gabriel Deluc died on September 15, 1916 at the age of 33 while on a reconnaissance patrol in the no man's land near Souain-Perthes-lès-Hurlus.
The composer Maurice Ravel dedicated the third part - Forlane - to his piano suite "Le Tombeau de Couperin".
