Lucien Potronat born in Paris on October 5, 1899 and died in Saint-Raphaël on November 3, 1973, was a French painter and watercolorist.
At the end of the First World War, he was an exhibitor at the Salon de Paris, where he sometimes used the pseudonym Jacques Warner.
In the late 1930s, he moved to the Côte d'Azur, where he remained until the end of his life. Fascinated by the light and warmth of the region, Lucien Potronat reflected this in his paintings, depicting the local coastline with whitewashed villas covered in bougainvillea, close to the characteristic blue of the Mediterranean under an azure sky.
We also owe him Dancers in 1926, some of which were exhibited at the Winter Salon in 1933, as well as other works including La Coulée, hauts fourneaux and L'Isle-sur-Serein, exhibited at the Salon des indépendants in 1941.
