LUCIEN GENIN (Rouen, 1894 - Paris 1953)."Moulin de la Galette.Watercolour and charcoal on paper.Signed in the lower right corner.Size: 16 x 16 cm; 32 x 32 cm (frame).Lucien Genin studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Rouen, where his teachers were Alphonse and Albert Guilloux, and later enrolled in Decorative Arts at l'École-de-Médecine. He took evening classes in sculpture, architectural composition and mathematics. He arrived in Montmartre in 1912, after a series of small trades, Maclet finally earned his living with his painting. Lucien Genin settled permanently in Montmartre at the age of twenty-five. More than a painter of Paris, Genin is a painter of Parisians, of the devouring passion that stirs all his characters in the big city. He paints them in the alleys of Montmartre, dining at night in the Place du Tertre, singing in the Lapin Agile, cars on the boulevards, spectators and street singers; he follows them on the banks of the Marne at the first rays of the sun and in the south of France in summer. In turn, he is in Nogent-sur-Marne, Marseille and Cassis, Cannes and Villefranche-sur-Mer. He was in Douarnenez in 1929 with Pierre Colle, Giovanni Leonardi and Max Jacob. He painted the port of Rosmeur at the feast of the blue nets and exhibited his painting at the Salon d'Automne in 1930. In November 1929, André Warnod wrote about his painting: "Lucien Genin depicts Paris with a sometimes hasty ardour but with a pleasant flavour of vivid colours". During these ten years, he practised a painting that was composed, colourful, sensitive, skilful, delicate, humorous and comic. A painting by Lucien Genin won the Art Institute of Chicago prize in 1932. In 1940, he took refuge in Marseilles for a few months. In 1941, the Paris City Council bought him a gouache and in 1944 René Fauchois presented his exhibition at the Bernard gallery. In 1947 he left for Cassis for the last time and exhibited at the Bernard gallery on his return. In his last years he devoted himself to painting landscapes in his room, with his easel under the window, where Robert Doisneau visited him a few weeks before his death. Lucien Genin was immortalised in 1953 in Le Vin des rue by Robert Giraud and Robert Doisneau. A retrospective exhibition was organised for him at the Galerie Seine in 1954.
