Pierre Clayette

Pierre Clayette (24 March 1930–18 December 2005) was a French painter, etcher and lithographer, illustrator and scenographer.

Born in Paris in 1930, after high school Clayette attended the Académie Julian where he studied under Jules Cavaillès.

However, like many artists who at one point in their career were associated with the movement such as Pierre-Yves Trémois, Clayette's pictorial production did not stop at the themes of Fantasy Realism.

[4] Although the unusual is a constant of his work, it draws its references in many artistic currents including Romanticism, Baroque, Symbolism, etc.

Clayette became famous among the great names of lyric and dramatic scenes, such as Maurice Béjart, Pierre Lacotte, Gabriel Dussurget, Maurice Escande and Jean Le Poulain, maintaining a long involvement with the latter until Poulain's death in 1988.
