Jean Bouchaud developed his talent as an illustrator of novels (Claude Farrère’s *Fumée d’Opium*) and articles published in the famous weekly *L’Illustration* (notably ‘An Annamite Tourist in Yunnan’).
Lyautey, whom he had met in Morocco and who was Commissioner-General of the 1931 Exhibition, entrusted him with the painting section of the Exhibition and, in particular, with the four monumental decorative panels for the Cité des Informations.
