GENIN Lucien

Born November 9, 1894 in Rouen / Died in 1953 in Paris.

Painter of urban landscapes, gouache painter, watercolorist, pastellist, draftsman, post-impressionist.

Lucien Génin was first a student of the School of Fine Arts in Rouen, then in 1919 Lucien Génin was admitted to the School of Decorative Arts in Paris. In 1932 Lucien Génin received a prize from the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1960 a personal exhibition of his works was organized in Paris. Lucien Génin painted in oil and gouache.

Lucien Génin has received a very comprehensive training, but has developed a very spontaneous personal technique with an innocent look at the simple things in life. Lucien Génin painted mainly in Paris, but some views of Rouen, Lorient, Dinan, Marseilles or Villefranche-sur-mer are worth noting. Lucien Génin has completely specialized in the highly demanded theme of views of Paris. Lucien Génin painted with extremely quick and easy paint strokes, which explains an abundant production.
