Pierre Jean Baptiste Louis Dumont (29 March 1884, in 5th arrondissement , Paris [ 1] – 8 April 1936, in Paris [ 2] ) more commonly known as Pierre Dumont , was a French painter of the Rouen School . He was schooled at the Lycée Pierre-Corneille and subsequently studied painting with Joseph Delattre . Dumont founded the Groupe des XXX (1907), and along with Robert Antoine Pinchon , Yvonne Barbier, and Eugène Tirvert founded the Société Normande de Peinture Moderne (1909). From 1910 to 1916[ 3] Dumont lived at the Le Bateau-Lavoir becoming friends with Juan Gris , Max Jacob and Guillaume Apollinaire .
