Pierre Montézin Biography

(born 1874; died 1946) French painter. Pierre Montezin was a member of a second wave of Impressionists that painted during the early twentieth century. Largely self-taught, Montezin’s father motivated him to become an artist, and he joined a workshop where he learned to paint decorative murals. After ten years of being rejected, in 1903 Montezin was finally accepted into Salon des Artistes Francais and in 1906 exhibited at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, England. He received several awards in the years to come; including a third place medal in 1907 and a second place medal in 1910 from the Salon; and the Rosa Bonheur prize in 1920. In 1914 he enlisted to fight in World War I and it was only after the war was over that he took up painting and exhibiting his work again. Montezin became popular for his vivid and luminous color and vigorous brushwork that is reminiscent of Claude Monet’s work. He received numerous titles throughout his life; he became a Member of Academie des Beaux-Arts, a Chevalier de la Legion d’honneur, and President of the Jury des Artistes Francais. In 1932 he experienced a highpoint in his career when he won a gold medal at the Salon and had a one man show at the Galerie Charpentier. Instead of following the current art movements, he continued to paint in the Impressionist style throughout his career.
