Gérard Clément-Brun (11 September 1865, Avignon - 11 March 1920, Avignon) was a French portrait and cityscape painter. Some sources give his year of birth as 1867 or 1868.

Biography

He began his studies at the École des Beaux-Arts d'Avignon, under the tutelage of Pierre Grivolas, who advised him to study in Paris. There, he enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts, where he studied with William Bouguereau and Tony Robert-Fleury. Later, he entered the Académie Julian, where his instructors were Gabriel Ferrier and Jules Joseph Lefebvre

Upon returning to Avignon, he established and chaired the Groupe des Treize [fr] which, among many others, included the painters Lina Bill [fr], Jules Flour [fr], Joseph Hurard [fr], Alfred Lesbros and Joseph Meissonnier. They held their first exhibit in 1912 at the Hôtel de Ville d'Avignon (City Hall)[1]

A large collection of his works may be seen at the Musée Calvet in Avignon.
