Timeline

1919

Philippe Jullian (real name: Philippe Simounet; 11 July 1919 – 25 September 1977) was a French illustrator, art historian, biographer, aesthete, novelist and dandy.

Jullian was born in Bordeaux in 1919.

His maternal grandfather was the historian Camille Jullian, known for his multi-volume history of Gaul; his mother had married a man named Simounet, a war veteran whose life ended in poverty and whose name Philippe rejected in favor of his more distinguished grandfather's.

Jullian studied literature at university but left to pursue drawing and painting.

In his later years, he resided in England but regularly spent winters in Africa.

He also travelled extensively in India and Egypt.

1940

Jullian's Journal, 1940–1950 (published 2009) documents his experiences and responses to the German occupation of France.

1944

On 22 March 1944 he wrote:

"The twenty days I spent in the country were quite pleasant, and I take no pleasure in returning to Paris. One is awfully tired of feeling irritated all the time. The atmosphere is tense with raids, the fear of departures to Germany. An uncertain period, cowardly for those who aren't heroes."

1945

One of his first officially noted works was the first "artist's" label for the famous wine from Château Mouton Rothschild in 1945, in memory of the World War II victory over Germany.

Jullian's book illustrations are witty, ornate, and often grotesque.

He produced illustrations for his own books as well as works by Honoré de Balzac, Colette, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Ronald Firbank, Marcel Proust, and Oscar Wilde, among others.

His books and articles on Art Nouveau, Symbolism, and other art movements of the fin-de-siècle helped bring about a revival of interest in the period.

1965

These include the biography Robert de Montesquiou (1965), Prince of Aesthetes (1967), Esthétes et Magiciens (1969) translated as Dreamers of Decadence (1971), Les Symbolistes (1973), and The Triumph of Art Nouveau (1974).

Among others, he admired French painter Antonio de La Gandara.

1968

His gift for satire is evident both in fiction such as La Fuite en Egypte (1968; published as The Flight into Egypt, 1970) and in his works of social satire, including Dictionnaire du Snobisme ("The Snob-Spotter's Guide", 1958), Les Collectioneurs ("The Collectors", 1967), and most notably his collaboration with the British novelist Angus Wilson, For Whom the Cloche Tolls: A Scrap-Book of the Twenties (1953), which he also illustrated.

1970

In the 1970s Jullian experienced a series of personal tragedies: the death of his friend Violet Trefusis in 1972; the destruction of many of his possessions, including his pictures after a fire broke out in his apartment; and in September 1977 the stabbing to death by a stranger of his Moroccan manservant and companion, Hamoud, on whom he had increasingly depended.

Five days afterwards he committed suicide by hanging.

1975

A collector, he published his autobiography, La Brocante, which detailed the "love of small objects", in 1975.

Works of fiction by Jullian dealt with the decadent, sensual, and macabre.

He explored the themes of homoeroticism, sado-masochism, transvestism and the aesthetic life.

1977

Other books include Montmartre (1977) and Les Orientalistes (1977), works of art history; and biographies of Edward VII (1962), Wilde (1967), Gabriele D'Annunzio (1971), Jean Lorrain (1974), Violet Trefusis (1976), and Sarah Bernhardt.

An article written by Jullian appeared in 1977 in the Architectural Digest about the Shah of Iran's new palace.
