Octave Denis Victor Guillonnet

Octave Denis Victor Guillonnet, called Octave Guillonnet, occasionally Guillonet ( born September 21, 1872 in Paris, † 1967) was a French painter.

Life

Guillonnet came from a wealthy family, who maintained a summer residence in Carros north of Nice on the French Côte d' Azur, and lived the rest of the year in Garches, west of Paris.

Guillonnet was considered precocious, as Lionel Royer took him at the age of 13 years as a student and two years later he won his first medal at the Paris Salon. From the living room, he received the hors- concours status, which translates to " first class / unrivaled " means and the result was that the salon is no longer surveyed his work before a show, but he was automatically considered approved at the age of 21 years. In 1901 he won the national travel grant, which was only awarded every two years and allowed him to stay for study purposes a year in Algeria.

Work

Works Guillonnets be shown at the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, and among other things in museums of Bordeaux, Dijon, Nantes and Luxembourg. Guillonnet also illustrated a number of books, such as " L' Arlesienne " by Alphonse Daudet.
