Biography – Pierre Adolphe Valette [1876-1942]
Valette was an Impressionist artist. He was born in Saint-Etienne in 1876. He studied at Ecole Municipale de Beaux-Arts before coming to England and studding at the Birkbeck Institute. During 1905 he moved to the North West and while working for a Manchester printing company and ecclesiastical decorator studied at the Manchester School of art in the evenings.
