Jean Puy (French pronunciation:[ʒɑ̃pɥi]; 8 November 1876 inRoanne,Loire – 6 March 1960 in Roanne) was a FrenchFauvist artist.
He studied architecture at theÉcole nationale des beaux-arts de Lyon and painting withJean-Paul Laurens at l'Académie Julian between 1897 and 1898. He metHenri Matisse and other like-minded artists when he transferred to the l'Académie Carrière in 1899. He exhibited his work in 1901, then in anImpressionist style, at theSalon des Indépendants; later, as a Fauvist, he exhibited at the 1905Salon d'Automne.[1]
L'Illustration related the Salon d'Automne "scandal" and published reproductions of several paintings dubbed Fauve, among which Jean Puy'sFlânerie sous les pins (Strolling through pine woods), together withLouis Vauxcelles' comment: "Mr. Puy, whose nude at the seashore reminds us of Cézanne's wide schematism, is presenting outdoor scenes where the volumes of things and beings are strongly established."[2]
Colors! Engaging, captivating, bewitching, coaxing, entrancing, ravishing colors! It seems we'll never stop feasting our eyes on them… (Jean Puy)[2]
