Brianchon was one of the best known painters of his generation in France. Winner of the Prix Blumenthal in 1924, he was one of the most influential masters at the Ecole des Beaux Arts and remains the only real successor in France to the tradition and intimacy of Bonnard and Vuillard.Theatre scenes, still lifes, portraits and compositions form an ensemble varied in subject but with a common technique. IN his works, no surface was completely flat or inert, no color was entirely smooth. In 1990, the Hermitage Foundation in Lausanne did a major retrospective exhibition accompanied by a catalogue, which remains available.
