Rene Jacques Lernon |
 |
At 80 years old, highly acclaimed Normandy impressionist, Rene Lernon still paints. Although health problems limit his once typically prolific French output of paintings to a select few pieces per year, his talent and magic remain a growing entity. |
Réné Lernon in direct lineage from Bouden, Junkind and Monet through generations of French painters each nurturing these marvelous scenes of Normandie. Lernon has paid back his debts as younger Normandie artists such as Bouju and Dubord have taken his interpretation and continued from there. With the recent passings of Hambourg, Bouyssou and Loriot we must cherish the small window of time allotted to us with the last living Normandie master of the 20th century.
Réné LERNON was born in Rouen on the 21st of January 1921. As a student of Robert Pinchon, he studied at the "Bearux Arts" of Rouen ; he is a part of the now famous school of Rouen painting.
Réné LERNON is an artist who never got tired of depicting the incomparable filtered reflects of the Normandy light, under a sky of rolling clouds. It is this marine atmosphere leaving the coast vanishing in the tenderness of the horizon that LERNON is interpreting through his elegant "palette" that liberates impressionist poetry full of tradition.
