Léon DETROY, 1859 / 1955 ( French )
A painter rooted in the post-impressionist movement, Lèon Detroy entered the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1879, where he learned the basics of art with Jean-Paul Laurens. He met Claude Monet, then it was while reading a novel by George Sand that he decided to devote his painting to the description of landscapes within the framework of the Crozant school. 
He has always favored his artistic itineraries from Northern Europe to Northern Africa via Italy, and in France, from the South to Brittany and the Creuse valley. The latter exercised such fascination that he devoted several spectacular landscape paintings to it as early as 1881. Characterized by a temperate divisionism and clear-cut colours, Léon Detroy's painting is one of those that heralds Fauvism. 
He was highly appreciated by critics but also by his fellow painters and friends, Vuillard, Bonnard, Friez and Anquetin.
He knew how to move away from impressionism to develop a personal aesthetic, a subtle balance of audacity and moderation.
