VAUTHRIN Ernest Germain Born in 1878 in Rochefort-sur-Mer (Charente-Maritime) 20th Century. French. Landscape painter, marine. He exhibited in Paris at the Salon of the National Society of Fine Arts and especially in Brittany. He was among the artists of the first half of this century, a painter appreciated by amateurs, preferring, to the blows of symbols of avant-garde painting, a sober art firmly supported by a very confident drawing and craft. He pursues the tradition of the great landscapers of the 19th century, but his delicate palette is well known to interpret with a very personal note the home landscapes and especially the ports of Brittany, Vendée and Normandy. He died in Paris in 1949, and the Society of Beaux-Arts, of which he had been a member since 1906, honored him by a retrospective exhibition of his paintings. Having come to painting under the influence of Degas, he has repeatedly received an official consecration. He was one of those who were asked by the Commission des Beaux-Arts to represent French Art in San Francisco in 1914, in Brussels in 1915. Purchases from the State and the cities of Paris also brought him valuable encouragement and The Carnavalet Museum has several paintings from old Paris, as well as three paintings from the 1910 flood. He often exhibited in the provinces, abroad and Paris at Bernheim and Duran Ruel.
