Jean Moulin

Born in 1932.

Died in 2009.

Jean Pierre Moulin is documented as the author of humorous drawings published in Parisian periodicals from the age of sixteen. This first evidence of graphic activity forms part of a trajectory that includes a baccalauréat obtained in 1917, followed by studies in law at the Faculty of Montpellier.

His professional career includes an appointment as prefect of Aveyron in January 1937, described in the sources as the youngest appointment to that rank at the time. During the Second World War, he is documented under several pseudonyms—Max, Rex, Caporal Mercier, Régis, Martel—in connection with clandestine activities. The same sources state that he convened the Conseil National de la Résistance (CNR) in Paris on 27 May 1943.

The information provided places emphasis on an early graphic practice, attested by publications at the age of sixteen; no inventory of a subsequent body of graphic work is detailed in the excerpts consulted.

According to the selected excerpts, his ashes, until then deposited in Père-Lachaise Cemetery, were reportedly transferred to the Panthéon on 19 December 1964.

Summary: the dossier brings together evidence of graphic activity from adolescence onwards (Jean Pierre Moulin), legal training and an administrative career culminating in an appointment as prefect in 1937, followed by documented involvement in the Resistance under several aliases and the convening of the CNR in May 1943; the mention of a transfer of his ashes to the Panthéon in 1964 appears among the recorded posthumous details.
