Paul Cornoyer (St. Louis, Missouri, 1864 – East Gloucester, Massachusetts, 1923) was an American painter, best known for his Impressionist and sometimes pointillist style. He studied the St. Louis School of Fine Arts in 1881. His first works were in a Barbizon mode, and his first exhibit was in 1887. In 1889, he went to Paris for further training, studying at the Academie Julien, and returned to St. Louis in 1894. By the early 1890s, his work was more lyrical and tonal, and he applied this style to subjects such as cityscapes and landscapes. He taught at Mechanics Institute of New York and in 1917 he moved to Massachusetts, where he continued to teach and paint.
