Pierre DUMONT is one of the most original painters, and the most unknown of the Rouen school. Pierre DUMONT came to Paris very young and lived there poorly in the district of La Ruche, then returned to Rouen around 1905, he painted very colorful landscapes, in a fat and thick paste spread on the canvas as if he were sculpting his vision. To contain his "Wild" temperament, Pierre DUMONT entered the Rouen Academy of Joseph Delattre, then founded with artist and writer friends the XXX group which became in 1909 the Norman Society of Modern Painting. His first paintings were marked by the influences of Van Gogh and Cézanne. From about 1910 Pierre DUMONT began to paint the cathedral of Rouen, from 1914 to 1919 he painted mainly the streets of Montmartre, Notre Dame Cathedral, the bridges of Paris and the banks of the Seine. From 1911 to 1916, Pierre DUMONT lived at the Bateau-Lavoir where he became friends with Picasso who kept a workshop there. Pierre Dumont made his first solo exhibition at the Malpel Gallery in 1914 where the vigor and intensity of his landscapes, especially of Paris, struck the critics and the public. In 1927 Pierre DUMONT suffered his first mental crisis, but once recovered, his exhibition at Durand-Ruel was a great success. From 1929 Pierre DUMONT's health perishes and a hemiplegia deprives him of his right hand, he now paints clumsy canvases with his left hand which will harm his work which, in its best period remains to be discovered
