Maurice Louis Monnot (22 October 1869 - 1937) was a French painter. [1]
A student of French realist painter Joseph Bail. Monnot presented his works at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1906 [2] and at the Salon des Artistes Indépendants in 1913. Monnot was a painter of still lifes and rustic interiors, with his skill at painting reflective copper effects being particularly noted and earning him praise in Paris and the provinces. [1]
The Société des Artistes Indépendants or Salon des Indépendants was formed in Paris on 29 July 1884. The association began with the organization of massive exhibitions in Paris, choosing the slogan "sans jury ni récompense". Albert Dubois-Pillet, Odilon Redon, Georges Seurat and Paul Signac were among its founders. For the following three decades their annual exhibitions set the trends in art of the early 20th century, along with the Salon d'Automne. This is where artworks were often first displayed and widely discussed. World War I brought a closure to the salon, though the Artistes Indépendants remained active. Since 1920, the headquarters has been located in the vast basements of the Grand Palais.
