Painter of the French School, linked by René Huyghe to the movement which joined Fauvism to Impressionism, but who always remained very independent, Paul Krôn is the author of a rich and dense work which included at his death several hundred landscapes, seascapes and still lifes and numerous drawings. Many art critics of the 20th century, and not the least of them, placed him among the great artists of the time by exalting him as the “painter of light”. Several of his paintings appear at the Museum of Modern Art (“Bateau au Pyla”), at the Petit-Palais (“Chrysanthèmes”) and at the Musée de l’Île-de-France in Sceaux (“L’Île de la Jatte” ).
