Jean Delpech produced an atypical body of work. There is still a good deal of mystery attached to his drawings and prints, which are clearly of visionary and phantasmagorical inspiration while depicting very real subjects.

Who is Jean Delpech?

Born in Vietnam in 1916, Jean Delpech is a unique artist. The works conserved at the Musée de l’Armée, mostly drawings and prints, trace his career during the Second World War, from his military service in the 15th Alpine Hunters Battalion (BCA), in which he was mobilised in September 1939, to his stay in Germany in 1945, as a war correspondent with the 1st Army.
