SUNDAY Feature on ART of Architecture -by Gautam Shah

Pierre Eugène Montézin (1874 - 1946) was a French Painter. He was a son of a Paris-based lace craft’s person. He was apprenticed as a decorator specializing in murals. He had a long and distinguished career as a post-impressionists landscape painter.

Montézin loved the plein-air painting in the country areas of the Ile-de-France. His arts show, the vibrant colours and clear light of the outdoors. These were reinforced with spontaneous brush strokes. He was influenced by Claude Monet. His loved for water of seas, rivers, puddles and streets full of slushy rains or melted snow is clearly visible. He exploits the waters through surface sheen and reflections of skies in ripples.

Montézin spent very little time in his studio. He once said ‘The subjects of the landscape painter are less in front of the artist’s eyes, than in his heart.’
