French, 1874–1949
Pierre Manguin was a French painter born on April 16, 1874, in Paris and died on April 28, 1949. He was associated with the Fauvist movement, known for its vivid colors and bold brushwork. Manguin studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris under the guidance of notable artists such as Gustave Moreau. Throughout his career, he developed a distinctive style characterized by a focus on light and color, often depicting landscapes, portraits, and scenes of everyday life. Major works include 'La Plage de Saint-Tropez' and 'Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe.' Manguin's contributions to Fauvism and his exploration of color theory have solidified his significance in the early 20th-century art scene.
