Exhibition: 60th exhibition of the Salon des Indépendants from April 22 to May 15, 1949 at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de la ville de Paris under number 893
Henri Dupont was born in Normandy near Rouen, and to stand out from his very, even too classic, name, he adopted that of his mother as a complement, which would become his unique artist name.
He was a drawing teacher at the Épinal high school and also worked at the town museum, lending his eye to the identification of several old paintings. From 1928 and until the day before his death, Dupont-Crespin exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants. The vast majority of his works are landscapes, but there are also portraits of his colleagues, friends and relatives. In 1940 he published a collection of engravings representing views of the city of Epinal, destroyed by bombing. These urban landscapes, unfortunately dislocated by their subject, are marvelous compositions which allow us to follow Ariadne's thread in the direction of our formidable composition.
Almost panoramic, our canvas represents the roofs of Paris, on a cool foggy morning in March 1948. The pinkish or even orange light of the tiled roofs in the foreground is interspersed between the purple shadows, pushed by the sun. Most certainly created in the 2nd arrondissement, this urban view is perfectly situable thanks to the position of the Pantheon and Notre-Dame, whose silhouettes stand out from the skyline.
Canvases presenting the roofs of Paris are rare, even more so with poetic atmospheres where any lover of the city will be able to find a memory.

- Henri Pailler - Snow in Triel sur SeineBy Henri PaillerLocated in BELEYMAS, FRHenri PAILLER (Poitiers 1876 - Triel-sur-Seine 1954) Snow in Triel sur Seine Oil on canvas H. 54 cm; L. 73 cm Signed lower left Provenance: Private collection, Vienne A native of Poitiers in Vienne, Henri Pailler shows serious drawing skills. Noticed by Edmond Petitjean, the young man was sent to Paris to complete his training at the Beaux-Arts under the aegis of the great Léon Bonnat. First of all accustomed to a style and a very academic palette, the young painter quickly branched off from this classical art which he hardly liked. From the beginning of the century he moved towards Impressionism which he deployed within the Crozant school thanks to his meeting with Armand Guillaumin who took him to paint on the motif in 1901. Residing in Poitiers until the At the dawn of the great conflict of 1914, Pailler sent to the Salon many landscapes of the Creuse where the liveliness of colors was more and more felt. It is precisely following the meeting with Dufy and Marquet that a fawn side appears in his compositions, but after a few years he instinctively returns to his love for impressionism by keeping a generous amount of hues on his palette. On his return from the war, Henri Pailler joined Roubaix where he was appointed workshop professor at the School of Industrial Arts. On his retirement he will settle on the banks of the Seine in Triel-sur-Seine, of which he will realize many views with the talent and the colors so appreciated by this painter considered to be one of the greats of Crozant. Throughout his career, Pailler will travel through France and regularly in Périgord, from which he will bring back many works by Bourdeilles mainly but also Brantôme. From the 1920s, the painter will present views of Triel-sur-Seine in the Yvelines in various salons. This town, whose church with its distinctive silhouette will be the playground for Pailler's easel until his death. Our painting undoubtedly made in the 1920s is a striking winter image...Category
