Jean PUY (1876-1960), Self-portrait – circa 1908 \u00a9 Mus\u00e9e Joseph D\u00e9chelette, Roanne<\/p><\/div>\n

Half a century after Jean Puy\u2019s death, the exhibition presented from June 2021 to January 2022 at the Mus\u00e9e de Pont-Aven\u2014after the Mus\u00e9e Joseph-D\u00e9chelette in Roanne\u2014highlights a key period in his career: the twenty-year relationship (1905\u20131926) with one of the major figures of modern painting, the dealer Ambroise Vollard.<\/strong><\/p>\n

His role in relation to Gauguin, Van Gogh, C\u00e9zanne, Matisse and the young Picasso is well known. The relationship with Puy, often mentioned but poorly understood, receives particular attention in this exhibition. <\/p>\n

Between them, exchanges were numerous, even before the \u201ctacit contract\u201d that bound them after the 1905 Salon d\u2019Automne, where the Fauves were revealed. It was in 1900, at the Vollard gallery, that Puy, accompanied by Matisse, discovered C\u00e9zanne and the lessons he could draw from him. Ubu \u00e0 la guerre<\/em>\u2014illustrated by Puy between 1919 and 1921, written and published by Vollard\u2014was nourished by the accounts the painter gave the dealer in their correspondence during the Great War. Vollard thus opened up new horizons for the painter by associating him with one of his passions: art publishing. He did the same by putting him in contact\u2014just as he did for Derain, Vlaminck, Matisse, Rouault\u2026\u2014with the ceramist Metthey. <\/p>\n

Since the beginning of the 21st<\/sup> century, the work of re-examining, analysing and putting Jean Puy\u2019s oeuvre into perspective has accelerated. Following the publication of a substantial monograph (2000), the Catalogue raisonn\u00e9 of the painted works<\/em> (2001) and the creation of a dedicated website, and after the retrospective at the Mus\u00e9e Marmottan Monet (2004\u20132005), major exhibitions such as \u201cLes Fauves et la critique\u201d (Turin, Lod\u00e8ve, 1999), \u201cJean Puy, une amiti\u00e9 artistique : Matisse, Marquet, Manguin, Camoin\u201d (Villefranche-sur-Sa\u00f4ne, 2007), \u201cJean Puy et la M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e\u201d (Saint-Tropez, Roanne, 2009\u20132010), \u201cJean Puy, pl\u00e9nitude d’un Fauve\u201d (Montb\u00e9liard, 2016), \u201cJean Puy \/ Ambroise Vollard. Un Fauve et son marchand\u201d marks a new step forward. <\/p>\n

The vision of an oeuvre made up of constants and, to the very end, of ongoing exploration, broadens. Guiding lines\u2014whose conjunction can sometimes be surprising\u2014emerge. Themes, settings and recurring figures punctuate this journey: the mysterious woman painter and her female model, the silent theatre of the studio, the pensive doll, the erotica<\/em>, by turns sensual and bawdy\u2026 <\/p>\n

There is no doubt that the exhibition \u201cUn Fauve et son marchand\u201d will deepen our understanding of an oeuvre of which Apollinaire said: \u00ab Puy\u2019s painting is without sadness and wholly imbued with a spiritual and voluptuous grace.<\/em> \u00bb<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00ab There is mixed into it<\/em>, wrote his brother, the art critic Michel Puy, in 1920, a touch of almost delirious fantasy, which Jean Puy strives to master<\/em> but which is very much part of his temperament<\/em>. \u00bb <\/p>\n
