La Société Coloniale des Artistes Français (founded 1908) renamed Société des Beaux-Arts de la France d'Outre-mer in 1946, and closed in 1970, was a French artistic society, and rival to the Société des Peintres Orientalistes Français.[1] The society received the patronage of the French Ministry of Education.[2] The impetus for the society commenced with the Colonial Exhibition of Marseilles in 1906, and the exhibition "L'Algérie, la Tunisie et les Indes" of 1907 at the fr:Galerie Bernheim-Jeune, and at the initiative of Louis Dumoulin a new society was established. The heyday of the society was 1930 to 1935 when its artists competed for bursaries such as the Prix de Guadeloupe and Prix de l'Indochine.
