Élisabeth Dujarric is a French painter, lithographer, and engraver born in 1930 in Jouy-en-Josas. Élisabeth Dujarric de la Rivière trained in the independent academies of Parisian painting (Jullian, la Grande Chaumière). Resolutely figurative, she participated in all the major stages of the revival of French figurative painting after the Second World War. A member of the group of artists led by Rebeyrolle, she moved from a classical, broad and airy figuration to an innovative painting, where shapes and colors collide. She exhibited at the Salon de la Jeune Peinture and lived at La Ruche in Paris. At the 7th Salon de la Jeune Peinture, held in January 1957, she received the Prix du Salon. She then felt the need to renew herself and was one of the painters who developed the Narrative Figuration movement. When Narrative Figuration became more radical, she continued this pictorial adventure alone, giving it a masterful culmination in her series Petits Levers, in the 1980s. She died in 2005.
