Maurice Marinot
Maurice Marinot (born March 20, 1882 in Troyes , † February 8, 1960 ibid) was a French painter and glass painter who is attributed to Fauvism .
Live and act
Marinot studied from 1901 at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts with Fernand Cormon , from whom he was, however, dismissed a little later as a "dangerous nonconformist ". At first he was attracted to the Nabis artist group , but then turned to the Fauves and exhibited his pictures with them for the first time in 1905 in the Salon des Indépendants , and finally in 1907 in the Salon d'automne . Since Marinot was hardly in Paris, he stayed on the fringes of the group. In 1911 he visited the glass painter factory of the brothers Eugène and Gabriel Viard. From 1912 Marinot began to focus on glass painting on vases and bottles, eventually also using the enamel technique. After a first exhibition of these works in 1913, he had his works produced by the Viard brothers, who had a glassblower factory in Bar-sur-Seine. When the Viard Frères company closed in 1937, Marinot ended this artistic field and turned back to painting. In 1944, the bombing of the Allied troops near Troyes destroyed large parts of his studio.
