Pierre-Eugène MONTEZIN ( Paris 1874- Moëlan-sur-Mer 1946 ) He was trained by 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 clever pastiche of impressionism, thanks to which he took his revenge at the Salon des Artistes français by obtaining many awards. His landscapes, lightly lifted by small touches, with the wet greens of a postcard Normandy, seduce by their rural subjects with a virtuoso scenography ("History on the banks of the Loing", "The Seine at Bougival", "Haymaking in Normandy", National Museum of Modern Art in Paris). Montezin was elected to the Institute in 1941, and like Cézanne, he died while painting in the open air.
