| Few painters as much as Pierre
Girieud no longer indicate a gait
sure, a more real control in the expression of their temperament reached the most certain maturity. His last
Exhibition, in all genres covered
by him, makes us appreciate the beautiful conscience of this artist, the firmness and at the same time the grace of his drawing, his broad decorative feeling (in particular
in his nudes in the open air) which asserts itself
without obliterating his beautiful profession of painter. But above all, it is appropriate to insist on the perfect homogeneity of his landscapes of the Basses-Alpes and the Alpes Maritimes, of which he has rendered with a delicious tenderness and a fair observation of the values, the motifs remarkably written by nature itself.
