Rapid progress and were at an exhibition organized with classmates, his watercolors obtained a real success.

and Holland.

According Rochelaises personalities who knew him well and wrote many articles after his death, it seems that Peter was not
Langlade-with regard to their preferences
a contradiction. Professing a visceral attachment to the Mediterranean countries, it to Holland and Belgium he escaped: he found his masters, he found his sources. He defended himself vigorously, he who had rather a musty character; Aunisien measured, he played with relish the fiery condottiere.

Pierre Langlade was regarded by art critics of his time as a "virtuoso classical" in his impetuous inspiration does not exceed reasonable limits, in one way or another, "those who pay in chromosome or those who stop at the door of aggression. " Turning

His landscapes are always moving, they represent Albi Cathedral, Saint-Gervais or a small church in the Loiret. Provence, Touraine and the Loire have particularly inspired.

The sweet life of the latter is obvious and, one might say, palpable. His "Spring" is a good example: the great "Pins", the "Harvest" has a wonderful gray sky.

Her portraits are alive. His still lifes, which enhances every detail together in a harmony where fantasy is never excluded, are carefully composed, his flowers, white, finely nuanced, are remarkable; bouquets fall in warm colors, flowers fields and bouquets of roses, all are gorgeous. His nudes are sensual and it is regrettable rarity. Drawings, watercolors, gouaches are amazing in their diversity of topics such method.

Like its exuberant character and withdrawn, his painting looks like a laugh concealing great anguish.

renowned painter of all, he participated in numerous exhibitions in France and abroad: Belgium, Holland, Germany, England, Switzerland, Argentina, USA, etc.. His paintings are exhibited in museums count. The last years of his life, he mura in a sort of ivory tower, not making an exception in respect of galleries and amateur Belgian just back from his predilection for this country.
