Pierre-Eugène MONTEZIN (Paris 1874-Moëlan-sur-Mer 1946)
He trained with his father, a lace designer. He was rejected 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, winning numerous awards. His landscapes, briskly executed with small brushstrokes and the wet greens of a postcard Normandy, seduce with their rural subjects and virtuoso scenography (“L'Histoire au bord du Loing,” “La Seine à Bougival,” “Fenaison en Normandie,” Musée National d'Art Moderne in Paris). Montezin was elected to the Institut in 1941. Like Cézanne, he died while painting outdoors.
