Le Pont Royal, Paris., Eugene Bejot, artist, 1918, France, etching, Eugène Bejot (1867-1931) was a French etcher. He was born in Paris and studied at the Academie Julian with Jules Lefebvre and Benjamin Constant. He began etching in 1891, under the tutelage of Andre Ibels. Bejot soon began working directly from nature when composing prints. Through Felix Buhot, he met Seymour Haden who helped him win admission to the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers. Bejot was also friends with Bracquemond and Lepère, both printmakers who were outstanding in their respective mediums of etching and wood engraving. His own technique was both precise and involved, yet his prints have a lightly-handed, simplified appearance similar to those of Whistler. A popular artist in both England and France, Bejot was made a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor in 1912.
