Description: | Signed: yes Description: It is only in the last few years that this little-known artist has been recognised as part of the Neo-Impressionist movement in France. The son of wealthy farmers in the Aude region, Lauze studied in Toulouse and at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. He rejected the conservative ideals of his teachers and began to experiment with the division of colour in his landscapes. He was in Paris during the critical years of 1886-1888 and exhibited at the Salon des Indépendents in 1894. He may have been influenced by Seurat, as he was in Paris when La Grande Jatte was first exhibited. However, he never conformed to Seurat's strict scientific method of complementary colours and worked more freely and intuitively. From 1888 until around 1896, Luage composed his pictures of small points of colour and this is clearly the period to which the Blackpool work belongs. | Subjects: | landscape (vineyard) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Lauge, Achille (French painter, 1861-1944) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8696... | Go to resource |
