Charles-François-Prosper Guérin

Illustration — Self Portrait, 1907, of Charles-François-Prosper Guérin Charles-François-Prosper Guérin (1875 in Sens – 1939) was a French Post-Impressionist painter. Guérin studied with Gustave Moreau in the l'École des Beaux Arts à Paris, and had one exhibition at the Grafton Galleries in 1910; in a review Huntly Carter wrote of his "daring extravagance" and that he "show[ed] how the strongest primary colours can be used without crudity, and whose work has a decorative value which the average muddy and colourless work of our day does not possess". Guérin attained some historic notoriety for sitting on the jury of the Salon d'Automne of 1908, which rejected almost all of the paintings of Georges Braque.
