Lot Essay

Jean Puy moved from Lyon to Paris in 1897 to study at the Académie Julian. Displeased with the regimented instruction at the Académie, Puy chose instead to study with Eugène Carrière. It was at Carrière's studio that Puy met Henri Matisse and Andre Derain. From 1900-1907 he showed his work at the Salon des Indépendants, and in 1905 he exhibited with the Fauves at the Salon d'Automne.
