Ektor Doukas (or Hector Doukas, Greek: Έκτωρ Δούκας, 1885–1969) was a Greek painter, a member of the Munich School, whose style combined academic elements with impressionism and expressionism.
Ektor Doukas was born in Smyrna in 1885.[1] He went to Munich in 1907 and studied painting at the Munich Academy under Ludwig von Löfftz. In 1913 he was awarded an honorary distinction. He then moved to Paris, where he studied at the Académie Julian.[2] He also studied in Venice.[3] At the age of 32 he moved to Munich.[4] He eventually returned to Greece, and died in Athens in 1969.[2]
