Artist Bio

Pierre Courtin (1921–2012) was a French painter and, above all, a pioneering engraver celebrated for his rigorous, tactile approach to burin (engraving with a cutting tool directly into metal). Born in Rebréchien (Loiret), he trained in engraving in Orléans before moving to Paris during World War II, studying at the École des Beaux-Arts and working closely with Jacques Villon, later printing intaglio at the Leblanc atelier. His practice helped redefine modern engraving as a “visual and tactile” art object—often produced in very small editions—while he remained active in key postwar circles, including participation in the Salon de Mai and the founding of the Salon d’Octobre (1952). Courtin exhibited internationally and his work entered major museum collections, including MoMA, reflecting his enduring place in 20th-century printmaking.
