BIBLIOGRAPHY Alain Mathieu and Sylviane Seraudie, Pierre-Jacques Pelletier, Fragments International, Paris: 2007, p. 83. "Pelletier knew how to create a style by assimilating both the lessons of the landscape painters of the Fontainebleau school and those of the Impressionists. As a poet, he moves us with his melancholic landscapes throughout the four seasons and with the beauty of his skies. But he astonishes us when, in retrospect, he becomes a fascinating journalist and describes how Paris and our suburbs - St Ouen, Genevilliers, Epinay, Argenteuil, Issy-les-Moulineaux - looked a century ago." Daniel Alcouffe, Pierre-Jacques Pelletier, Fragments International, Paris: 2007, preface.
