Pierre Eugene Montezin Art
French, 1874-1946
French artist Pierre Eugene Montézin, originally trained in decorative arts and mural painting under his father’s guidance. From the age of 18 he worked in a decorative atelier, painting floral panels and ornamental motifs. His exposure to the Impressionist movement inspired a pivot towards plein-air landscape paintings, setting him on the path to becoming a true Impressionist.
Montézin passionately pursued Salon recognition for a decade; in 1903, he finally debuted at the Salon des Artistes Français after repeated rejections. Under the mentorship of Ernest Quost, he honed his drawing and painting technique, embracing a painterly style marked by spontaneous strokes and radiant light. Montézin enlisted during WWI and received the Médaille Militair for his service, spending significant time after the war in Dreuz and Moret-sur-Loing, painting landscapes in the tradition of Alfred Sisley with the influence of Claude Monet remaining present.
Montézin remained a steadfast Impressionist, resisting contemporary movements like Cubism or Surrealism, and stayed devoted to natural, atmospheric subjects seen through ‘the heart’ as he reportedly told critic Louis Vauxcelles. He suddenly died in 1946 whilst painting Britany. Montézin’s work embodies a lifetime of devotion to light, landscape, and the authentic roots of Impressionism.to

De Ruth, a native of Czechoslovakia and an American citizen, spent the years of World War II being shunted through five different concentration camps, including the infamous Auschwitz. He made four escape attempts and finally made good on his fifth try.
De Ruth constantly sought materials with which to draw, but "The only things we had were the few pieces of cloth we wore," he recalls. By chance, he was transferred to Germany as part of a labor detail and managed to sneak a pencil away from the camp supervisor. "I became a perfect thief during those years," he says. De Ruth drew a mother and child on a scrap of paper he scrounged from the factory where he worked and filled it in with shadings of coffee in various strengths-his finger was his brush. He exchanged the sketch for a piece of bread from a camp guard, and in effect, sold his first painting.
In March of 1945, after being transferred to his native Czechoslovakia, he made his successful escape "knowing every step of the way." After the war, De Ruth became the commissar in a small Czech town and remained in the post for one year, just long enough to forge some documents that allowed him to flee to England. He took up residence in London and enrolled at the Ruskin Art School in Oxford University. He arrived in the USA in 1948.
There are times in the life of a painter when his dedication to his art is overshadowed by the immediate requirements of self-preservation. This was one of those times! From '48 to 1955 he supported himself by working at night, earning his way painting designs on neckties and bathroom cups...

Pierre Montézin's father, a lace designer, found him a job with a design company, where he soon devoted himself to murals. Strongly influenced by the theories of Impressionism, he later embarked on a career as an artist in his own right. In about 1903 he came into contact with Quost who made him work on his drawing and gave him a taste for painting. He enlisted in 1914 for the duration of the war, and took up painting again on his return. He lived in Dreux and Moret for a year, and spent his holidays there from then on. Montézin was made a Chevalier of the Légion d'Honneur in 1923 and in 1940 was elected a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, taking the place left vacant by Edouard Vuillard's death.
Montézin submitted a work to the Salon des Artistes Français for the first time in 1893, but it was rejected, as were all his subsequent attempts for ten years. It was not until 1903 that he was accepted, winning a third-class medal in 1907 and a second-class medal in 1910. He also exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français after World War I and was awarded the Rosa Bonheur prize in 1920. He was made a member of the society and honoured as hors concours, as well as being made a member of the committee and of the jury of the Salon des Artistes Français after having received their medal of honour.
Montézin's painting was well-received, his technique - a distant descendant of Impressionism - captivating many by its virtuosity.
