SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Painter and racing cyclist, Jean-Bertrand Pégot-Ogier is also listed as Jean-Bertrand Alexis Pégot-Ogier and Jean Pégot-Ogier; in sport, he is known as Jean Pégot. He is associated with the École de Concarneau and also founded a drawing school in Lorient.
He exhibited at the Salon des artistes français in Paris in 1900 and again in 1901, and became a member of the Société des artistes français. He continued exhibiting in Nantes in 1904, with two works, and then in Rennes in 1905, also with two works; in 1909, he organised an exhibition in Cologne. His life was divided between Hennebont and Paris. In Paris, he contributed to the newspaper Le Breton de Paris and served as secretary in two Breton associations. In Lorient, he became vice-president of the Société lorientaise des beaux-arts upon its foundation in March 1908.
A notice characterises his painting as having tendencies that were sometimes Impressionist and sometimes Synthetist. The diptych Matin de pardon and Soir de pardon, associated with his Synthetist vein, was purchased directly from the artist in 1907 and belongs to the collection of the City of Lorient. His work was presented at the Musée de Pont-Aven from 26 June to 27 September 1993, in an exhibition accompanied by the catalogue Jean Pégot-Ogier 1877-1915. In 2015, the Musée du Faouët devoted a retrospective to him, bringing together more than 130 oil paintings, gouaches and drawings.
