Description: | Signed: yes Description: Guillaumin is one of the lesser known Impressionists. He had to work for most of his life, which limited his activity until a lottery win in 1891 enabled him to concentrate exclusively on painting. He began his career as an avant-garde artist by exhibiting with Cézanne and Pissarro at the Salon des Refusés in 1863. He was also active in Manet's circle at the Café Guerbois, from which Impressionism developed. In this landscape, typical of his later works, the paint is quite dense and applied in thick brushstrokes. The radical nature of his colour combinations caused J.K. Huysmans to call Guillaumin a 'furious colourist', and Felix Fénéon to remark on his 'super-heated skies'. | Subjects: | landscape (riverbank) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Guillaumin, Armand (French painter, 1841-1927) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8650... | Go to resource |
