Octave Guillonnet
Octave Denis Victor Guillonnet , called Octave Guillonnet , occasionally Guillonet (born September 21, 1872 in Paris , † 1967 ) was a French painter .
Life
Guillonnet came from a wealthy family who had a summer residence in Carros north of Nice on the French Côte d'Azur and lived in Garches west of Paris for the rest of the year .
Guillonnet was considered precocious when Lionel Royer accepted him as a student at the age of 13 and he won his first medal in the Paris Salon two years later . At the age of 21, he received hors concours status from the salon , which translates as "first class / unrivaled" and meant that the salon no longer examined his works before an exhibition, but was automatically considered approved. In 1901 he won the national travel grant, which was only awarded every two years and allowed him to spend a year in Algeria for study purposes .
