Jean-Gabriel Domergue (4 March 1889 in Bordeaux; 16 November 1962 in Paris) was a French draughtsman, painter, poster artist, printmaker and illustrator specialising in portraits of the chic Parisian women. For 40 years, he was the inspiration and magician of the grandest celebrations, guiding the elite of Paris, London and New York. He lived partly in Cannes on the Côte d'Azur with his wife, the sculptress Odette Maugendre-Villers (1884–1973), their Villa Fiesole in the quarter of La Californie is listed as a historical monument.
