Their influences are clear, especially in his early works, which act as a basis from which Guillaumin developed his own mature style of post-impressionist landscape painting, of which Le Roche de L'Echo, Creuse, 1895, is a clear example. A work painted en plein air, Guillaumin has employed thick individual brushstrokes to boldly depict the landscape set out before him. The bright dabs of colour are skillfully deployed with equal attention throughout the composition to create the impression of autumn sunlight, and demonstrate a passion for colour apparent in all his works of this period. The artist has incorporated perspectives typically adopted by his Impressionist peers: the landscape is opened up to the viewer by a winding path through the trees and alongside the river bank, not dissimilar to Monet’s many views of the banks of the Seine. Indeed, in 1880, Zola commented in his article, ‘Naturalism at the Salon’, that: “Mr Pissarro, Sisley, Guillaumin went in the footsteps of Mr. Claude Monet...and they endeavoured painting pieces of nature around Paris under real sunlight, without giving up in front of the most unforeseen effects of colouring." Le Roche de L'Echo, Creuse typifies Guillaumin’s commitment to his artistic beliefs which he faithfully continued throughout his long career. Dying in 1927, he was the last survivor of the Impressionist group, of whom he was one of the most faithful members.

Issu d'une famille très modeste, Guillaumin s'installe seul à Paris à l'âge de 16 ans où il est contraint de travailler pour subvenir à ses besoins. Il profite de son temps libre pour visiter les musées du Louvre et du Luxembourg, et également pour prendre des cours de peinture le soir, à l'école de dessin de la rue des Petits-Carreaux. Il se distingue très rapidement des autres élèves en recevant une médaille de bronze. Il participe au Salon des Refusés en 1863 et, rejetant un enseignement académique et conventionnel, s'inscrit à l'Académie Suisse en 1864. Là, il rencontre les peintres Cézanne et Pissaro avec qui il se lie d'une amitié qui s'avèrera longue et fructueuse. Ils se retrouvent souvent aux réunions du Café Guerbois avec les Naturalistes et peignent ensemble sur les bords de Seine.

Oil on canvas signed lower left. 74 x 69 cm Certificate of authenticity. Alfred SMITH, born in Bordeaux in 1854 and died in Paris in 1936, is a French post-impressionist painter. His work has sometimes been compared to that of Claude Monet. André Alfred Smith of Strasbourg was born in Bordeaux on July 30, 1854, his father is Welsh, naturalized French, and his mother is the daughter of the notary of Saint-Ciers-sur-Gironde. In 1869 his father left the family home and left to make his fortune in the United States. So at the age of 15, Alfred and his older brother, Emmanuel found themselves breadwinners. Alfred works in a bank as a stockbroker's clerk, but he wants to become an artist and spends all his free time painting. In 1877 he made the first exhibition of his paintings at the Salon of the society of friends of the arts of Bordeaux, whose catalog indicates that his master is Hippolyte Pradelles. He remained faithful to this salon and exhibited at least one painting each year, until his death in 1936. The painter Alfred Roll noticed him and helped him promote his artistic work. The two men became friends and Alfred Smith was Roll's executor after his death in 1919.

Impressionism
IMPRESSIONISM Eugène Boudin (1824 – 1898) was one of the first French landscape painters to paint outdoors. Boudin was a marine painter, and expert in the rendering of all that goes upon the sea and along its shores. His pastels, summary and economic, garnered the splendid eulogy of Baudelaire; and Corot called him the "king of the skies.” He opened a small picture framing shop in Le Havre and exhibited artists working in the area, such as Jean-François Millet, and Thomas Couture who encouraged young Boudin to follow an artistic career. Boudin, The Beach at Villerville 1864 In 1857/58 Boudin befriended the young Claude Monet, then only 18, and persuaded him to give up his teenage caricature drawings and to become a landscape painter, instilling in the younger painter a love of bright hues and the play of light on water later evident in Monet's Impressionist paintings. They remained lifelong friends and Boudin joined Monet and his young friends in the first Impressionist exhibition in 1873. Boudin, Sailboats at Trouville 1884 Johan Jongkind (1819 – 1891) was a Dutch painter and printmaker. He painted marine landscapes in a free manner and is regarded as a forerunner of Impressionism, introducing the painting of genre scenes from the tradition of the Dutch Golden Age. From 1846 he moved to Paris, to further his studies. Two years later, he had work accepted for the Paris Salon, receiving acclaim from critic Charles Baudelaire and later on from Émile Zola. Returning to Rotterdam in1865 he moved back to Paris in1861, where he rented a studio Jongkind, in Montparnasse, the following year meeting in View from the Quai d'Orsay 1854 Honfleur Sisley, Boudin and the young Monet.

Born in a very modest family, Guillaumin settled in Paris at 16 where he had to work to live. During his free time, he liked to visit the Louvre and Luxembourg museums and joined the school of drawing situated on rue des Petits Carreaux where he went in the evening. He distinguished himself quickly and gained a bronze medal. He exhibited at the 1863's Salon des Refusés and became a member of the Académie Suisse in 1864, known for its non-academic teaching. There, he met the painters Cézanne and Pissarro with whom he had a long friendship. They used to meet at the Café Guerbois with the naturalist painters and painted together on the banks of the Seine. Guillaumin was an employee of the civil engineering "Ponts et Chaussées" that allowed him to travel along Paris and its suburb and paint popular scenes in Charenton, Clamart, the banks of the Seine and the Bièvre.

What is Impressionism? (The article was taken from Wikipedia) In the middle of the 19th century—a time of change, as Emperor Napoleon III rebuilt Paris and waged war—the Académie des Beaux-Arts dominated French art. The Académie was the preserver of traditional French painting standards of content and style. Historical subjects, religious themes, and portraits were valued (landscape and still life were not), and the Académie preferred carefully finished images that looked realistic when examined closely. Colour was somber and conservative, and traces of brush strokes were suppressed, concealing the artist's personality, emotions, and working techniques. Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Girl with a Hoop, 1885 The Académie had an annual, juried art show, the Salon de Paris, and artists whose work was displayed in the show won prizes, garnered commissions, and enhanced their prestige. The standards of the juries represented the values of the Académie, represented by the works of such artists as Jean-Léon Gérôme and Alexandre Cabanel. Some younger artists painted in a lighter and brighter manner than painters of the preceding generation, extending further the Realism of Gustave Courbet and the Barbizon school. They were more interested in painting landscape and contemporary life than in recreating historical or mythological scenes. Each year, the Salon jury rejected their works in favour of works by artists faithful to the approved style. A group of young realists, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, and Frédéric Bazille, who had studied under Charles Gleyre, became friends and often painted together. They gathered at the Café Guerbois, where the discussions were often led by Édouard Manet, whom the younger artists greatly admired.

1841–77 Chapter 1 1841–77 Renoir to age 36; a Bohemian Leader among the Impressionists; Model Lise and their Secret Children, Pierre and Jeanne In November 1861, when he was only twenty, Renoir made one of the most fortuitous decisions he ever took: to study in the Parisian studio of the Swiss painter, Charles Gleyre. A photograph around this time reveals that Renoir was a serious, intense young man. Gleyre’s studio was simply one of many that fed into the École des Beaux-Arts (the government-sponsored art school in Paris), where students learned anatomy and perspective through drawing and paint- ing. Te men Renoir met at Gleyre’s would become some of the most important companions of his life. About a year after he arrived, ﬁrst Alfred Sisley in October, then Frédéric Bazille in November and lastly Claude Monet in December 1862 became fellow students.1 On 31 December 1862, the four were already close friends when they met at Bazille’s home in Paris to celebrate the New Year together.2 Trough these friends, Renoir met Paul Cézanne and Camille Pissarro, studying nearby at the Académie Suisse. Tese artists would not only become lifelong friends, but would also be of critical importance for Renoir’s artistic Renoir, 1861. Photographer unknown development. In his early twenties, Renoir also made the acquaintances of Édouard Manet and Edgar Degas. Trough them, he later met the two women of his training: ‘Not having rich parents and wanting to be a painter, began by artists, Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt. By the early 1870s, all of these painters way of crafts: porcelain, faience, blinds, paintings in cafés.’3 Despite his artisan would form the core of the Impressionist movement.

It is the century that witnessed the greatest expression of the Academic tradition and it is the era that launched modernism through the developments of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. * * * * * * * * * * * * Academic: Realism. It is best defined as an artist’s mastery of a variety of painting techniques, including the depiction of atmosphere and natural light, intended to produce a picture that mimicked reality. This style reached its height in the latter part of the 19th century. Major artists of this period include: William Bouguereau, Jean-Léon Gérome, Alexandre Cabanel, Briton Riviere, and Lawrence Alma-Tadema. Modern: Impressionism and Post-Impressionism; the commencement of modern painting. This period is the beginning of experimentation with form, color, brushwork, and subject matter leading to modern art. These artists experimented with depicting the effects of light and using expressive color and brushwork to portray both figures and landscapes. Founding members include: Claude Monet, Eugène Boudin, Camille Pissarro, Pierre Auguste Renoir, and Albert Guillaumin—and their contemporaries—Edmond Petitjean, Henri Lebasque, Henri Martin, and Georges d’Espagnat. These artitsts produced works which continue to be most favored for their market value and aesthetic merit. 2 (at The Ritz-Carlton) Welcome to Guarisco Gallery Guarisco Gallery is a leading international gallery founded in 1980 specializing in museum quality 19th - and early 20th - century paintings and sculpture.

Mary Cassatt Biography
Paul Cézanne (1839 –1906) was a French artist and Post-Impressionist Grand Master, whose work laid the foundations of the transition from the 19th-century conception of artistic endeavour (realism) to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century (mind’s eye). Cézanne's often repetitive, exploratory brushstrokes are highly characteristic and clearly recognizable. He used planes of color and small brushstrokes, which build up to form complex fields. The paintings convey Cézanne's intense study of his subjects. Insomuch as the phenomenon of optics ruled his style, Cézanne can be said to form the bridge between late 19th-century Impressionism and the early 20th-century's new line of artistic enquiry, Cubism. Both Matisse and Picasso are said to have remarked that Cézanne, after all, "is the father of us all." Lifetime output of prints: 8 -- five etchings and three lithographs (two in color, one in B&W) “Portrait of Guillaumin with the Hanged Man” is Cézanne’s second etching (1873). Famously, Cézanne had to be coaxed into printmaking in the first place, most notably by fellow artists Camille Pissarro and Armand Guillaumin, both Impressionist painters and printmakers of notoriety. The third ‘lobbyist’ was Dr. Gachet, a French physician most famous for treating the painter Vincent van Gogh during his last weeks in Auvers-sur- Oise. Gachet was a great supporter of artists and of the Impressionist movement. In fact, he himself was an amateur painter and etcher, signing his works "Paul van Ryssel" (literally, ‘Paul of Lille’ in Dutch). The tiny hanged man in the upper-left corner of the etching is a reference to a Cézanne painting “The Hanged Man’s House,” done at Auvers-sur-Oise, the country town wherein Gachet lived.

Guillaumin has recently been “rediscovered” and acknowledged for his importance within the Impressionist movement and as a major influence on Post-Impressionists including van Gogh, Paul Signac, and Henri Matisse. Here, Guillaumin creates an intimate portrait of his wife in pastel. The use of pastel was popular in the 17th century, but was re- introduced by the Impressionists in the 19th century, most notably by Edgar Degas, Mary Cassatt, and Henri Toulouse Lautrec.

Signed L.R., Pastel 3 44 Pointillism The Post-Impressionist period was a hothouse of varied artistic philosophies, including Pointillism, Symbolism, and Fauvism. Branching from Impressionism, Seurat and Signac developed this technique in 1886. Pointillism, also known as divisionism, is a mode of painting in which small, distinct dots of pure color are applied in patterns to form an image. Unlike the academic artists who blended colors on the palette before applying paint to canvas, this new modern movement relied on the ability of the eye and mind of the viewer to blend color spots into clearer and more defined forms.
