Biography

Pierre Thuillier was a landscape painter, first a pupil of Louis Étienne Watelet then belonging to the School of Barbizon. He carried out his first artistic activity in the region of Amiens and around the Forest of Fontainebleau between 1831 and 1832. As a young apprentice at the atelier of Watelet he met Théodore Caruelle d'Aligny and left with him later to work in Italy. Later he often stayed in Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Algiers, moving along Maghreb, and then returned to paint in France, particularly in Auvergne.

In 1843 he was made a Chevalier of the Legion d'Honneur.

Expositions

In 1831 he began exhibiting at the "Salon de Paris", where he won awards four times. In particular, he won the 1st Class Medal in 1839 and 1848. In 1854 he won the First Prize at the Geneva Exhibition. [1] He stopped exhibiting at the "Salon" only in 1857.

Jean Messagier was a French painter, sculptor, printmaker and poet. Jean Messagier had his first solo exhibition in Paris at Galerie Arc-en-Ciel in 1947. From 1945 to 1949 the artist worked under the influence of Pablo Picasso, André Masson, Paul Klee and François Desnoyer, his professor at École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs in Paris. Messagier again was revealed to the public at an exhibition organized by Charles Estienne at the Galerie de Babylone in 1952, entitled "La Nouvelle École de Paris". The following year, Messagier deliberately broke away from his expressionistic form of Post-Cubism; his inspirations now focused on Jean Fautrier and Pierre Tal-Coat to develop a personal vision in which he renders "light...approached abstractly." Jean Messagier is often associated with Lyrical abstraction, Tachisme, Nuagisme, Art informel and paysagisme abstrait, though the artist himself had never accepted any labels, and had always refused the distinction between abstraction and figuration. From 1962 until the year of his death Jean Messagier exhibited in France and abroad, taking part in some major international events as a representative of new trends in French painting.
