In 1935, Sollièr went to Brittany to live, a place that had been popular with painters ever since Eugène Boudin’s repeated visits there between 1874 and 1880. During the 1940s, without leaving Brittany, he began to explore new genres and places. He twice tried mythological painting, immediately winning the Prix James Bertrand at the 1944 Salon. He then started painting landscapes from the Seine-et-Marne and Burgundy, with a deliberate detour to the village of Murols in Auvergne, which had witnessed whole colonies of landscape artists, from Théodore Rousseau to Victor Charreton. Sollièr's works reflect the beauty of the French countryside and are a testament to the power of art to inspire and transform. He died in 1966 in Paris, leaving behind a legacy of stunning landscapes that capture the essence of the time and place in which they were created. Today, Sollièr's works can be found in numerous private and public collections throughout France and around the world.
