Pierre-C茅cile Puvis de ChavannesPierre Puvis de Chavannes, (December 14, 1824 鈥?October 24, 1898) was a French painter.





He was born Pierre C茅cile Puvis de Chavannes in Lyon, Rh么ne, France.





In 1844 he went to Paris, where he studied under Eug猫ne Delacroix and Thomas Couture. It was not until a number of years later when the government of France acquired one of his works that he gained any sort of wide recognition. Although he studied with some of the romanticists, his work is seen as symbolist in nature and he is credited with influencing an entire generation. In turn, one of his proteges was Georges de Feure.





In Montmartre, he had an affair with one of his models, Suzanne Valadon, who would become one of the leading female artists of the day.





He is noted for painting murals, several of which can be seen at the H么tel de Ville (City Hall) in Paris and Poitiers, the Sorbonne, and the Paris Panth茅on, as well as in the United States at the Boston, Massachusetts Public Library. His easel paintings can be found in many American and European galleries. Some of them are:





Death and the Maiden


The Dream


The Poor Fisherman


Vigilance


The Meditation


Mary Magdalene at St Baume


Saint Genoveva


Young Girls at the Seaside


Mad Woman at the Edge of the Sea

He was president and co-founder in 1890 of the National Society of Fine Arts (Soci茅t茅 Nationale des Beaux Arts)(1)

Pierre Tal-Coat (1905-1985) painter





Tal-Coat's birth name was Pierre Louis Jacob. He was born in Brittany, a fisherman's son, and came to Paris in 1924. He chose the surname Tal-Coat (Breton for "Wood Face") to avoid being confused with the artist and poet Max Jacob. Tal-Coat was one of the most imprtant figures in the post-war School of Paris. One of the founders in the mid-forties of Tachisme, a lyrical abstract movement that was the French version of Abstract Expressionism, his paintings were acclaimed and admired by fellow artists such as Andre Masson. He also wrote on painting. His etchings and lithographs encapsulate the essence of his minimalist paintings.Tal-Coat was awarded the Grand-Prix National des Arts in 1968. His works have been featured in one-person shows at the Galerie de France (1945-1946), the Berne Kunsthalle (1957), the Musee des Arts Decoratifs, Paris (1960), Galerie Claude Bernard, Paris (1963), the Maisons de la Culture du Havre and d'Amiens (1969), Galerie Benador, Geneva (1970, 1972, 1975, and 1979), Galerie l'Entracte, Lausanne (1973), the Musee de Metz (1974), the Musee Royal de Parc Veno, Tokyo (1975), Galerie Karsten Greve, Cologne (1979), Galerie Ditesheim, Neufchatel (1979), and at the Chateau de Ratilly (1979), Mus茅e d'Evreux (1983), Galerie Patrice Trigano, Paris (1983), Musee des Beaux-Arts de Quimper (1985), Maison de la Culture, Bourges (1987), Musee des Beaux-Arts de Rennes (1988), and Centre National des Lettres, Paris (1988). In 1968, there was a travelling retrospective at the Galeries Benezit, d'Incelli, and Schoeller; in 1976, he was the subject of a career retrospective at the Grand Palais, Paris. From 1954 on, he was primarily represented by the Galerie Maeght, Paris, and was the subject of a number of issues of the deluxe art review, Derri猫re le Miroir (numbers 64, 82/84, 114, 120, 131, 153, and 199). Finally, we have just learned (compliments of an announcement that G茅rard Titus-Carmel is having an exhibition there) that Tal-Coat has had a museum named in his honor, the Galerie Pierre Tal-Coat, Centre culurel, Hennebont.
