Pierre Châtillon
Born in 1885.
Died in 1974.
The notices report that he attended the École d’art de La Chaux-de-Fonds, took courses at the École d’art de Pforzheim for one year, and then studied at the Académie Julian in Paris. According to the same sources, this training was extended by numerous journeys to Spain, Italy, Belgium and the United States—details regularly mentioned in the brief biography available.
From a technical standpoint, the documents explicitly describe him as a watercolour painter and refer to the production of watercolours, including works of large dimensions. The Galerie des Annonciades currently offers works signed by Pierre Châtillon on its website, illustrating the contemporary commercial presence of works attributed to the painter and the sale of large-format watercolours.
The gallery notice also refers to a bibliographical source identified as ‘KLS, p. 175’. A structured record imported and flagged by SIKART lists Pierre Châtillon among the artists associated with the Galerie des Annonciades.
These elements—names and dates, places of birth and death, stages of training, journeys, indications of medium and bibliographical references—constitute the factual points available in the sources consulted and make it possible to prepare a gallery notice centred on the artist’s identity, training and practice. As a concrete example appearing in the commercial offering, the gallery mentions a ‘large-format watercolour’ attributed to Pierre Châtillon.
