CHARLES DUFRESNE (1876–1938) was a French painter, engraver, sculptor and decorator. He came from a family of sailors and fishermen that originated in Granville. He left school to study engraving, then went to Paris, where he enrolled at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts and found a position in the workshops of Hubert Ponscarme. Later, he became an assistant to the sculptor and medalist, Alexandre Charpentier. He was more attracted to painting, however, and began making pastels at Café-chantants and circuses and guinguettes, in the manner of Toulouse-Lautrec. His first exhibition came at the Salon of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in 1903. Following that, he and his close friend, the American-born engraver Herbert Lespinasse [fr], went on an extended trip to Italy and stayed at the Villa Médicis. In 1908, he spent some time working in Brittany at the invitation of Jean Frélaut [fr]. In 1910, he was one of the winners of the Abd-el-Tif prize and spent two years at the Villa Abd-el-Tif in Algiers, where he turned from pastels to oil painting. After returning, he opened a studio and produced numerous Orientalist works. He was mobilized at the beginning of World War I. After being gassed, he was transferred to the Section de Camouflage, under the command of an old acquaintance, the painter André Dunoyer de Segonzac. During this time, he managed to paint some Cubist scenes of the war.
