MONTEZIN Pierre Eugène Painting 20th century Post-Impressionist painting Varnished gouache signed
MONTEZIN Pierre-Eugène ( 1874 / 1946 )
Haymaking by the river around 1940 / 1946.
Varnished gouache signed at the bottom left.
50 x 65 cm
Museums: Mannheim , Paris (City Museum of Modern Art / Petit Palais Museum)
Pierre-Eugène MONTEZIN (Paris 1874- Moëlan-sur-Mer 1946)He trained with his father, a lace designer. He was refused ten years in a row at the Salon, from 1893 to 1903. After the war, he found his style, a skillful pastiche of impressionism, thanks to which he took his revenge at the Salon des Artistes français, obtaining numerous awards there. His landscapes, the most removed by small touches, with the wet greens of a postcard Normandy, seduce with their country subjects with virtuoso scenography ("History on the banks of the Loing", "The Seine in Bougival", "Haymaking in Normandy", National Museum of Modern Art in Paris). Montezin was elected to the Institute in 1941.Like Cézanne, he died while painting en plein air.

Pierre-Eugène MONTEZIN (Paris 1874- Moëlan-sur-Mer 1946) He trained with his father, a lace designer. He was refused ten years in a row at the Salon, from 1893 to 1903. After the war, he found his style, a skilful pastiche of Impressionism, thanks to which he took his revenge at the Salon des Artistes français by obtaining many awards. His landscapes lightly taken up by small touches, with the wet greens of a Normandy postcard, seduce by their rural subjects with virtuoso scenography ("History on the banks of the Loing", "The Seine at Bougival", "Fenaison en Normandie », National Museum of Modern Art in Paris). Montezin was elected to the Institute in 1941. Like Cézanne, he died while painting outdoors.
