compared to the extensive information about American artists.
 Pauline Peugniez was born in 1890 in Amiens, France.
Peugniez began the formation of l’Ecole des Beaux-Arts d’Amiens, and later settled in Paris to study with Hambert. She met Jean Hebert-Stevens whom she married. Her major influence was no doubt Maurice Denis, who was a professor with George Desvallières at Ateliers d’Art starting in 1919 in the old studio of Delacroix.
Peugniez and her husband opened an atelier* to make stained glass with designs of Marcel Gromaire, Maurice Denis, Georges Desvallieres, Georges Rouault, and Jean Bazaine.
In 1919, Peugniez became a member of the Societe Nationale des Beaux-Arts*, and in 1920 began exhibiting at the Salon d’Automne* and the Salon des Tuileries.
Peugniez designed tapestries for Aubusson* and Gobelins*, and glass for l’Exposition Universelle de Paris in 1925. She decorated the façade of the exterior of the Pavilion de Mallet-Stevens at l’Exposition Universelle* de Paris in 1937.
Many of Peugniez’s works are religious in nature, but she also did many paintings of a more decorative style. She is most closely associated with the artists of the Nabis* movement, of which Maurice Denis was the master.
Peugniez is represented in several museums, including the Musée des Années Trente near Paris, Musée National d”art Moderne, and the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.
