Biography
French-British artist, an illustrator and designer. For many years he was obsessed by centaur themes which he repeated in many variations in his work.
He moved to London early in the 20th century and in 1905 received his first commission to illustrate the novels of the Brontë Sisters. During World War I, Dulac produced relief books and when after the war the deluxe children's book market shrank he turned to magazine illustrations among other ventures. He designed banknotes during World War II and postage stamps, most notably those that heralded the beginning of Queen Elizabeth II's reign.
Dulac married twice. He died of a heart attack on 25 May 1953 in London. He was 70.
