Description: | Signed: yes Description: Guillaumin was one of the first members of what became known as the Impressionist group. He was also one of the most faithful, participating in six of the eight Impressionist exhibitions held in Paris between 1874 and 1886. Primarily a landscape painter, Guillaumin, like Monet, was interested in recording the season, the month, even the time of day when he was painting. An inscription on the back of this painting confirms that it is a view of the coast at St. Palais-sur-Mer and that it was painted in August 1893. Guillaumin captures the light and atmosphere of a hot yet breezy August afternoon by the sea. Although the subject is typically Impressionist, and Guillaumin has used large comma-like brushstrokes in the rocks in the foreground, the simplified shapes of the rocks jutting out into the sea and the strong, dark-toned colours are closer to Post-Impressionism. | Subjects: | marine | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Guillaumin, Armand (French painter, 1841-1927) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8305... | Go to resource |
