Pierre Boudet began painting in the gardens of the palace of Versailles where he met Henri Le Sidaner, Pierre Montezin, Dunoyer de Segonzac, Lobre, Delaporte and Henri Martin. He was a pupil and friend of Jean-Gabriel Domergue. Boudet mainly painted landscapes, notably of the Normandy coast but also of places he visited on his travels, particularly Venice. He exhibited from 1945 at the Salon des Artistes Indépendants and the Salon d'Hiver, from 1950 at the Salon Violet and occasionally at the Salon d'Art Libre from around 1960. His work featured in a Biennale exhibition of French painters that toured Buenos Aires, Chicago, New York, Washington and Montreal in 1968. He also held solo exhibitions in Tokyo and Brussels in 1969-1970, in Paris in 1970, 1972, 1975, 1978 and 1985 and in London in 1972. A retrospective of his work was held at the Palais des Congrès, Versailles in 1982. He exhibited regularly at the Wally Findlay gallery in New York and was awarded the Tossa de Mar Grand Prix and the Governor of Gerona Grand Prix (1964). less
