Biography
[edit]When he was 13, Petitjean began his art studies at theEcole de dessinin Mâcon. The town gave him a grant to continue at theÉcole des Beaux-Artswhere he studied underAlexandre CabanelandPierre Puvis de Chavannes.He was later influenced byGeorges Seuratwhom he met in Paris in 1884.[1]After Seurat encouraged him to join the Neo-Impressionists, he was also influenced byPaul SignacandCamille Pissarro.He adopted the pointillist technique until 1894 when he started to combine it with more feathery strokes. In 1910, he returned toNeo-Impressionismwith a series of decorative watercolours of landscapes and people set off by widely spaced rounded spots of pure colour.[2]
Petitjean exhibited at theSalon des Indépendantsin 1891 and thereafter atLe Brac de Boutevilletogether with the symbolists and impressionists. He also exhibited in Brussels in 1893 and 1898, Berlin in 1898, Weimar in 1903, and Wiesbaden in 1921.[1][2]
