Isabelle Duret-Dujarric's masterpieces which could be situated right in the heart of a very up to date movement, kind of renewal of figurative and expressionnist art, have much impressed the international fondations ; her paintings have been exhibited in Sofia under the official sponsorship of the Bulgarian Culture ; American universities have organised important events on her works ; France chose Isabelle Duret-Dujarric's paintings as the topic of a cultural event of high reputation in China (PEKIN October 87 -PARIS June 88).

Landscapes and mediterranean people are Isabelle Duret-Dujarric's favourite subjects and are part of private and public collections in France, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Holland, Germany, England, Bulgaria, Senegal, Australia, China, as well as the United States.
As soon as 1984, Isabelle Duret-Dujarric is one of the permanent artists at the "Galerie Drouant" in Paris, where Bernard Buffet, Yves Brayer, Tofoli, Fred Menguy, etc... preceded her, and she also takes part in the main French exhibitions.

In 1985, her works were also shown in Belgium at the "Galerie Presences" (Brussels, Knoke-Le-Zoute, Namur), since 1986 in Dallas USA (Southwest Gallery) and Sherman (International Galleries) and in 1991 in Paris, Gallery of the Picasso Museum.
After the retrospect which celebrated 25 years of her art (Paris, Avenue Georges V, january 95) a gallery is now exclusively devoted for her in the capital ("DURET-DUJARRIC PARIS" 18 rue de Miromesnil, 75008).

Present in the international art business, Isabelle Duret-Dujarric's paintings gain the investor's adhesion. Critics agree to say her works give a true renewal in oil-painting art, her style is powerful, her colors exceptional and her masterpieces keep this amazing power and brightness from 30 meters away as well as 3 meters away - her talent and her carreer do not need to be established any more and her technics are taught in Art Schools.
