About

Why this artist matters now

Jean Puy was a French painter associated with Fauvism and Post-Impressionism in the early twentieth century. Working primarily in oil on canvas, he developed a distinctive approach to landscape and still life marked by bold color and expressive brushwork. Active from the 1900s through the mid-twentieth century, Puy's practice remained rooted in the formal innovations of his contemporaries while maintaining a consistently personal visual vocabulary.
