NotesJean Cluseau-Lanauve was a French painter born in Périgueux. He was the main member of the Saint Germain des Près school. He traveled across France throughout his life and made drawings of the most charming landscapes, but also many nudes. In the Dordogne, on the coast of Brittany, in Belgium, in Paris but also in the major European cities, his drawings have formed the basis for paintings that he then produced in his studio in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. He died there in 1997, after a successful career and exhibitions. He became Peintre de la Marine in the 1980s. This view of the port in which one finds his first cubist period is treated in such a way as to bring out the perspective and depth of the place, most certainly in Brittany, where he often visited.
