Pierre GIRIEUD exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants in 1905 one of his masterpieces whose colors caused a scandal, six months later at the Salon d'Automne
He exhibited 5 paintings in the famous room VII at the Salon d'Automne of 1905, described as "Cage aux Fauves"
The painter that I am proposing to you is a true Fauve, he has always been considered that way by the critics of the time.
like his peers Derain, Othon Friesz, he calmed down after 1912, returning to the rank of expressionist painters
His works appear in the greatest International Museums (L'Hermitage, Pompidou, L'Annonciade, Granet, Fondation Regards de Provence, etc...). Girieud made his debut in Montmartre at the time of the great excitement of the beginning of the century, he participated in the famous hoax of Boronali, the donkey who painted a picture with his tail
He exhibited at Berthe WEIL, KANHWEILER, ROSENBERG, he became friends with KANDINSKI in 1904 then with Franz MARC. He was the first Frenchman to adhere to the principles of the New Association of Munich Artists
