P<\/span>aul Bocquet (1868\u20131947) fut un peintre d’une discr\u00e9tion presque obstin\u00e9e. Il n’eut jamais \u00e0 Paris d’exposition d’ensemble dans une grande galerie, ce point de d\u00e9part de toute r\u00e9putation nationale. Il v\u00e9cut dans la pudeur, dans ce refus instinctif de la r\u00e9clame qui fut \u00e0 la fois sa force et la limite de sa notori\u00e9t\u00e9. Pourtant, tout au long de sa vie, son \u0153uvre fut r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e au public \u2014 \u00e0 Paris, \u00e0 Reims, en province \u2014 et toujours avec la m\u00eame exigence tranquille.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/paulbocquet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Coin-de-Jardin-a-Togny-\u2014-Effet-de-Neige-1892-Huile-sur-toile-46-\u00d7-56-cm-scaled.jpg” _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-0ec00ca9-ec06-4784-a057-5ece2d56f250%22:%91%22box_shadow_color%22%93}” box_shadow_color=”gcid-0ec00ca9-ec06-4784-a057-5ece2d56f250″ hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ alt=”Coin de Jardin a\u0300 Togny \u2014 Effet de Neige, 1892 (Huile sur toile, 46 \u00d7 56 cm)” title_text=”Coin de Jardin a\u0300 Togny \u2014 Effet de Neige, 1892 (Huile sur toile, 46 \u00d7 56 cm)”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_heading title=”Les Salons de la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Nationale des Beaux-Arts (1892\u20131939)” _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”84181077-5b64-4ef3-ab69-ce8a9969f62a” title_font=”Cormorant Garamond|300|||||||” title_font_size=”36px” title_letter_spacing=”1px” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]

La premi\u00e8re grande sc\u00e8ne de Paul Bocquet fut le Salon de la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Nationale des Beaux-Arts<\/strong>, fond\u00e9 en 1890 au Champ de Mars par Puvis de Chavannes, Rodin et Meissonier \u2014 en rupture avec le Salon officiel des Artistes Fran\u00e7ais. C’est l\u00e0 que ses deux ma\u00eetres, Alfred Roll et Puvis de Chavannes, exposaient.<\/p>\n

En 1892<\/strong>, Roll lui annonce le 31 mars l’acceptation de ses quatre paysages de Togny : Laveuses au Ruisseau<\/em>, Sous-bois l’Hiver<\/em>, Coin de Jardin \u2014 Effet de Neige<\/em> et Souvenir \u2014 Int\u00e9rieur de Cour<\/em>. C’est sa premi\u00e8re grande exposition parisienne. Il a vingt-trois ans, il tremble encore d’\u00e9motion. Sous-bois l’Hiver<\/em> est reproduit dans le catalogue du Salon.<\/p>\n

L’ann\u00e9e suivante, en 1893<\/strong>, il est nomm\u00e9 Associ\u00e9<\/strong> de la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Nationale \u2014 distinction accord\u00e9e par ses pairs, qui marque une reconnaissance officielle et durable. Il expose Vieil Int\u00e9rieur de Cour \u00e0 Erquy<\/em>, reproduit dans le catalogue.<\/p>\n

Il pr\u00e9sentera des \u0153uvres au Salon de la Nationale presque chaque ann\u00e9e jusqu’en 1939<\/strong> \u2014 soit pr\u00e8s d’un demi-si\u00e8cle de fid\u00e9lit\u00e9 \u00e0 cette institution. Parmi les toiles les plus remarqu\u00e9es : Vall\u00e9e de Saint-Pierre-Aigle<\/em> (1897), La Guenelle et le Pr\u00e9<\/em> (1898), Bords de la Marne, le Matin, en Octobre<\/em> (1907), et ses s\u00e9ries de la Vesle en hiver dans les ann\u00e9es 1909\u20131914. En 1941, il envoie encore une Vesle au Bois d’Amour<\/em>, l’une de ses derni\u00e8res participations parisiennes.<\/p>\n

Parall\u00e8lement aux Salons parisiens, Paul Bocquet exposa r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement dans sa ville natale, Reims, au sein de la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des Amis des Arts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

D\u00e8s octobre 1892<\/strong>, il y pr\u00e9sente plusieurs toiles au retour de son premier voyage en Bretagne \u2014 dont notamment le portrait de sa s\u0153ur Juliette. La critique r\u00e9moise, encore r\u00e9serv\u00e9e face \u00e0 sa mani\u00e8re impressionniste, commence cependant \u00e0 s’y int\u00e9resser.<\/p>\n

En septembre 1896<\/strong>, quatre de ses toiles figurent \u00e0 l’Exposition R\u00e9gionale des Beaux-Arts de Ch\u00e2lons<\/strong> : Vieux Pommier<\/em>, Soir en Champagne<\/em>, Lever de Lune en Plaine de Champagne<\/em>, Matin\u00e9e d’Hiver<\/em>.

En septembre 1897<\/strong>, Paul Bocquet participe \u00e0 une exposition collective des Beaux-Arts et des Arts Industriels<\/strong> organis\u00e9e dans les salles de l’\u00c9cole R\u00e9gionale de la rue de Talleyrand. Il y pr\u00e9sente quatorze toiles<\/strong> \u2014 sa premi\u00e8re grande exposition \u00e0 Reims \u2014 couvrant toutes ses ann\u00e9es pr\u00e9c\u00e9dentes : Bretagne, Champagne, Lorraine, Saint-Pierre-Aigle. On peut y voir notamment Vall\u00e9e de Saint-Pierre-Aigle<\/em>, Moulin \u00e0 Vent de Saint-Briac<\/em>, Pleine Mer \u00e0 Saint-Briac<\/em> ou encore Coucher de Soleil en Champagne<\/em>.<\/p>\n

La r\u00e9ception est mitig\u00e9e dans la presse locale, peu accoutum\u00e9e \u00e0 la lumi\u00e8re divis\u00e9e de sa palette. L’Ind\u00e9pendant R\u00e9mois<\/em> juge qu’il “pousse trop loin l’amour de la lumi\u00e8re”<\/em>. Il faudra du temps \u00e0 Reims pour apprivoiser son impressionnisme champenois.<\/p>\n

En d\u00e9cembre 1934<\/strong>, \u00e0 l’initiative de M. Raymond Roche, directeur de l’Automobile-Club de Champagne, et sur les instances amicales de quelques admirateurs, Paul Bocquet \u2014 alors \u00e2g\u00e9 de soixante-six ans \u2014 consent \u00e0 pr\u00e9senter une trentaine de ses \u0153uvres<\/strong> dans la grande salle du Cours Langlet<\/strong>. C’est sa premi\u00e8re v\u00e9ritable r\u00e9trospective personnelle \u00e0 Reims.<\/p>\n

L’exposition va des premiers Togny<\/em> de 1893 jusqu’aux derni\u00e8res Vesle<\/em> et Mont Joli<\/em> de 1934. Bocquet lui-m\u00eame dresse le plan des panneaux, refusant tout vernissage officiel, tout discours, toute publicit\u00e9 tapageuse. “Je dois lutter pour ne pas c\u00e9der \u00e0 la tentation de l’app\u00e2t du gain et du j’m’en foutisme artistique”<\/em>, \u00e9crit-il \u00e0 sa fille.<\/p>\n

Fernand Marson dans le Nord-Est<\/em> et L. Vermesch-Robin dans l’\u00c9claireur<\/em> sont \u00e9logieux. Ce dernier \u00e9crit : “C’est le premier m\u00e9rite de M. Paul BOCQUET d’avoir tent\u00e9 cette difficult\u00e9. Peut-\u00eatre m\u00eame pourrait-on dire qu’elle est d’autre nature que celle de saisir et de noter les ciels de Provence et d’Italie.”<\/em><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/paulbocquet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_9149-scaled.jpg” alt=”Paysage en hiver, 1897 (Huile sur toile)” title_text=”Paysage en hiver, 1897 (Huile sur toile)” show_in_lightbox=”on” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ box_shadow_color=”gcid-0ec00ca9-ec06-4784-a057-5ece2d56f250″ global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-0ec00ca9-ec06-4784-a057-5ece2d56f250%22:%91%22box_shadow_color%22%93}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_heading title=”Le XIIIe Salon des Arts Modernes \u00e0 Reims (1943)” _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_font=”Cormorant Garamond||||||||” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]
