Georges-Pierre Guinegault

Georges Guinegault, born in Rennes on March 27, 1893 and died in Dinard on July 26, 1983

Biography
In June 1913, a student at the School of Fine Arts in Rennes, he won a prize in the general competition for decorative composition, “Bacon de Fenêtre”, organized by the Secretariat of State for Fine Arts at the National School of Fine Arts in Paris.

This painter and engraver was later a pupil of Eugène Delâtre at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. To start his career, Guinegault resided in Montparnasse where he rented a villa at 7 rue Jules Chaplain. In 1933, his studio was located on rue Dieulafoy in Paris.

He paints landscapes of Paris, the Manche department, in particular The Hague, Brittany (Quiberon, Saint-Malo …), the Riviera (Saint-Tropez), the Pyrenees, the Beauce, the Basque Country (1948) as well as orientalist scenes during his stay in Morocco (Marrakech, Meknes …). His Moroccan works are now particularly sought after.

He also paints portraits and especially many nudes.

He also practices engraving, at least from 1925 to 1931. La Galerie Lutetia, in New York and rue Notre-Dame-des-Victoires in Paris, publishes three of his etchings: Rue à Ciboure, Ancien cloître à Ciboure and Sul confine Spanish.
