Albert Matignon

French painter Albert Matignon caught attention in the 1910s when he painted some pictures with drug-related themes. These paintings showed women injecting themselves with morphine and falling into ecstatic daydreams. He also painted seascapes, portraits, nudes, and genre landscape. In 1891 he created five monumental paintings for the choir of his hometown church. He also produced illustrations and posters. Matignon studied at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris. He exhibited frequently at the Salon des Artistes Français and received several awards. Later he traveled frequently to the Somme Bay, where he painted numerous landscapes.
