Pierre Waidmann
Pierre Waidmann (Remiremont, August 19, 1860 – Neuilly-sur-Seine, October 26, 1937) was a French painter and sculptor. He was a landscape painter and also a photographer. Biography 
Pierre Waidmann, born into a wealthy family and sensitive to the arts, moved from his native Lorraine to Paris in the late 1870s to study with Ferdinand Humbert and François-Louis Français. Ten years later he was also a pupil of Alfred Roller and Henri Gervex. In 1890 he took up residence in Paris, at 66 , but he still returned regularly to stay at the home of his grandfather, the collector  (1802–1881) where he painted numerous landscapes of the Vosges region. In the historic 18th-century mansion where he was born, Waidmann created the interior decorations (especially marquetry and overdoors) in many rooms. In about 1884, he even set up his atelier there. He died in 1937 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, at the age of 77. In 2011, the two museums of Remiremont, the Charles de Bruyères Museum and the Charles-Friry Museum, dedicated a retrospective to him, grouping together a hundred of his works, including sixty paintings, ceramics, terracottas and bindings. In February and March 1896 he had a show at Le Barc de Boutteville, an avant-garde gallery in Paris
