The Montbron you'll find if you scroll down this page:
http://sfpi.asurtech.com/corres.htm

was, he says, 12.5 in 1974, which is about right. He seems to be some
sort of aristocrat, and a lover of licence plates. His email address
is there in the header, so I won't give it here. Why not drop him a
line and ask him for help?

No mention of his being an artist anywhere that I can see, though he
is the owner of a "haunted" hotel -- or rather a chateau --  and has
appeared on a Discovery Channel programme on that subject. Check it
out here:

The forename is Xavier, of course. His mother inherited the chateau in
2002 when his father Henri, the count of Montbron, died. He appears to
be running it.
