Jean Puy was a French painter associated with the Fauvist movement, known for his colourful and colourful works.
Jean Puy's early work was influenced by Impressionism, but he later adopted the bold and expressive use of colour characteristic of Fauvism. Inspired by artists such as Henri Matisse and André Derain, Puy developed a unique style that emphasised the emotional and decorative qualities of colour.
Puig's paintings often depicted landscapes, still lifes and scenes of everyday life. He was particularly interested in conveying the effects of light and colour in his works, using intense and unnatural colours to show mood and expression.
During his career, Puig exhibited at the Salon d'Autumn and the Salon des Artistes Indépendants, which were important exhibitions of avant-garde art in Paris.
