is a French painter from Montmartre and Saint-Germain-des-Prés. He follows the teaching of the École des Beaux-Arts in Rouen. His teachers are Alphonse and Albert Guilloux. In 1919, just arrived in Paris, he enrolled at the School of Decorative Arts, and took board in Montmartre at mother Boyer, at the Hotel du Poirier, near the Bateau-Lavoir. It was there that he met Max Jacob, was influenced by Dumont, and undoubtedly rubbed shoulders with the wildlife of the Montmartre of the 20s but it was with Elisée Maclet, his next-door neighbor, that he tied himself. More than Peintre de Paris, Genin is a painter of the Parisians. He paints them in the streets of Montmartre, dining in the evening Place du Tertre, singing in the Agile Rabbit, driving on the boulevards, onlookers surrounding weightlifters and street singers; he follows them on the banks of the Marne at the first rays of the sun, and in the south of France in the summer. He is in turn Nogent-sur-Marne, Marseille and Cassis, Cannes and Villefranche-sur-Mer. He was in Douarnenez in 1929 with Pierre Colle, Giovanni Leonardi and Max Jacob. He paints the port of Rosmeur on the day of the feast of blue nets and exhibits his painting at the Salon d'Automne in 1930. In 1936, Lucien leaves Montmartre for Saint-Germain-des-Prés. In 1940, he took refuge a few months in Marseille. In 1941, the City of Paris bought him a gouache and in 1944 René Fauchois presents his exhibition at the gallery Bernard.
