Pierre Montheillet, an artist from Lyon, son and grandson of art dealers, was introduced to painting on his own through the canvases exhibited in his father's gallery on rue Duguesclin. He discovered with great admiration the works of the painter Auguste Ravier (1814-1895) and became his official expert. For more than forty years, he was at the forefront of the visual arts scene in Lyon.
Pierre Montheillet exhibited for the first time at the 1939 Salon d'Automne before turning definitively to non- figurative painting in the late 1940s. This is a pictorial tendency that distinguishes itself from imitative art but also from abstraction and whose manifesto exhibition "Twenty young painters of the French tradition" organized in 1941 by Jean Bazaine includes artists such as Alfred Manessier or Charles Lapicque.
Defining himself above all as a landscape painter, Pierre Montheillet matured his plastic writing in contact with Hans Hartung whom he met in 1948. He developed a very personal language and quickly became the Lyon master of abstract landscape painting. He thus maintained a close relationship with the landscape without however worrying about any resemblance with the reality that was offered to him. Pierre Montheillet's works lose their figurative aspect while refuting the gratuity of the lyrical gesture proper to abstraction.
Through a clever play of rhythms and colors, his works express the emotions felt in front of nature. He retranscribes on the canvas the sensations that the outside world gives him, thus leaving a great freedom of reading to the spectator. The gouache watercolor that we propose is composed of alternating large flat areas of light and shadow in an order apparently more intuitive than thoughtful. The painter expresses the spontaneity of the emotions felt in front of nature and the particular landscape which occupies him at this precise moment while preserving the control of the gesture proper to his manner.
