EXHIBITION "Impressionism according to Pont-Aven" Musée de Pont-Aven (in partnership with the Musée d'Orsay) June 29, 2019 to January 5, 2020 This new exhibition designed by the Pont-Aven Museum highlights the Impressionism of Brittany and Pont-Aven in particular, in the artistic explorations of Paul Gauguin and the painters who accompanied him in this adventure. It introduces Impressionist works by Paul Gauguin and Camille Pissarro to mark their relationship of descent. The first part highlights the impact of the Impressionist period as the first milestone in Paul Gauguin's artistic reflections. Impressionism gives him a certain control of the variation of the light in the open air, a use of the brightness of the colors and a freedom of pictorial expression. The second part highlights the more impressionistic ways in the historical sense of the term borrowed by some artists of Pont Aven: Henry Moret, Maxima Maufra, Ferdinand Loyen of Puigaudeau, Gustave Loiseau, all promoted by Paul Durand Ruel. They have enrolled in their own way in the vein developed by Claude Monet in Brittany (especially at Belle-Ile-en-Mer) and are also trying to provide responses to the atmospheric vibrations of the ocean... Between sky, land and sea, what palette to transcribe the light breton? The Impressionisms Routes network, to which the Pont-Aven Museum belongs, is very happy to invite you to visit this exhibition in 2019 and to appreciate the incomparable charm of the Breton city! www.museepontaven.fr EAU et LUMIERE.

    2|19 Sisley’s Giacometti’s Amiet in skies Engadin blue and red PAGES 10/11 PAGES 12/13 PAGES 14/15 Ladies and gentlemen, Dear clients and friends, Ferdinand Hodler’s elegiac female figures are one of the artist’s hallmarks, and have become icons of Swiss modern art. Through Hodler’s constant re-examination of the motif, they eventually became representations of fate. With these works, the artist suggests emotions and at the same time pays homage to infinity and beauty. Illustrated on the cover of this issue, “Die Schreitende” (“The pacing woman”, which shows Hodler’s model Giulia Leonardi) was painted around 1912, at the zenith of his artistic career. It will be offered in our 28 June auction of Swiss Art, which features a comprehensive overview of 19th- and early 20th-century Swiss painting, including practically all of the great names from this period. Also of special note is Giovanni Giacometti’s four-part panorama of the Swiss Engadine from Muottas Muragl over the snow-capped peaks and green mountain valleys of the Engadine – as far as the eye can see (p. 12). Like Hodler and Giacometti, their contemporary Cuno Amiet was popular with private art collectors. The Swiss department store entrepreneur and friend of Amiet, Eugen Loeb, acquired numerous examples of his work, including the expressive “Apple Harvest in Blue and Red” (p. 14), another highlight of the Swiss Art auction on 28 June. Also on 28 June, we will offer an auction of works by Impressionist and Modern artists, featuring a wonderful landscape by the great Impressionist Alfred Sisley (p.

  • L'impressionnisme
    L’impressionnisme d’après PONT-AVEN Jacqueline Duroc Sous la direction d’Estelle Guille des Buttes Préface par Ellen Wardwell Lee 4 Préface Ellen Wardwell Lee Conservatrice émérite au Musée d’Art d’Indianapolis Marraine du Musée de Pont-Aven 1886 fut une année charnière pour la colonie artistique de Pont-Aven – et pour le mouvement connu sous le nom d’impressionnisme. À Paris, avait lieu la der- nière des huit expositions qui marquèrent les débuts du mouvement, révélant le développement de nouvelles approches picturales. En Bretagne, le Salon de Nantes présentait au public des impressionnistes déclarés et de jeunes artistes émergents. Claude Monet, Pierre Renoir et Paul Gauguin se rendaient tous en Bretagne. Tandis que Monet laissait la force nue des vagues l’attirer à Belle-Île, Renoir préférait la côte nord et Saint-Briac. Le charismatique Paul Gauguin, lui, porta son choix sur le village de Pont-Aven, hospitalier et bon marché. Gauguin venait de montrer dix-neuf tableaux impressionnistes à Paris mais, déçu par l’attention des critiques, il débarquait à Pont-Aven en quête de gloire, pressé de laisser libre cours à sa puissance créatrice. La présente exposi- tion explore la façon dont l’impact de Paul Gauguin, les attraits naturels de la Bretagne et l’appel fondamental de l’esthétique impressionniste, contribuèrent à L’impressionnisme d’après Pont-Aven. À l’arrivée de Gauguin, Pont-Aven hébergeait des artistes de diverses natio- nalités, de divers styles, y compris des peintres académiques traditionnels et naturalistes. Gauguin exerça son regard impressionniste sur des scènes de la vie rurale et put s’enorgueillir de son influence sur quelques-uns des plus jeunes représentants de la colonie.

  • The Turn of a Great Century
    cover:Layout 1 8/27/09 9:34 PM Page 1 Guarisco Gallery The Turn of a Great Century 19th and Early 20th Century Paintings, Sculptures & Watercolors 1 WHY 19TH AND EARLY 20TH CENTURIES (The Optimal Period for Collecting) T he turn of the 19th century into the 20th has always proven to be one of the most interesting eras in art history. 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.

Rapidement intégré au milieu artistique local (Élodie La Villette, Ernest Corroller), il poursuit sa formation en rejoignant les ateliers des peintres parisiens Henri Lehmann et Jean-Paul Laurens. Ses premières œuvres connues datent des années 1880 et décrivent des paysages des environs de Lorient dans une veine prolongeant la leçon de Corot et des peintres de Barbizon. Toutefois, sa manière de peindre va connaître un bouleversement à partir de 1888. Au contact du groupe gravitant autour de Paul Gauguin à Pont-Aven et ensuite au Pouldu, Moret est l’un des témoins privilégiés de l’éclosion du Synthétisme. Cet évènement majeur de l’histoire de l’art va lui permettre de renouveler son approche du paysage. Dès le début des années 1890, nombre de ses compositions se distinguent par des cadrages audacieux inspirés de l’estampe japonaise, l’apparition de larges aplats de couleurs et l’usage plus ou moins appuyé du cerne.

  • Exposition Temporaire
    Exposition temporaire Dossier pour les enseignants Service éducatif Musée des beaux-arts de Quimper Henry Moret De Pont-Aven à l’impressionnisme Introduction « Le plus simplement possible, Henry Moret ouvre une fenêtre sur la nature. », Henry Éon, 14 mai 1901 « Des tons vifs, des verdures franches, des mers violentes, des horizons vastes, de l’air et de la clarté […] c’est un art de lumière chantante, d’impressionnisme sincère ». Anonyme, avril 1907 Chantre lumineux des côtes de Bretagne, Henry Moret (1856-1913) demeure aujourd’hui encore un artiste mal connu. Peu d’éléments éclairent sa biographie si ce n’est sa précoce installation à Lorient en 1875 puis son compagnonnage discret avec Gauguin, Filiger, Sérusier ou De Haan. Esprit libre, Henry Moret les a côtoyés tout en évitant soigneusement de subir leur trop fort ascendant. Sa recherche de solitude l’a préservé des ruptures brutales tout en lui offrant l’opportunité d’exprimer une approche originale de l’art du paysage en Bretagne. Après un enseignement classique à Paris auprès des peintres Henri Lehmann et Jean-Paul Laurens, Moret opte pour une carrière de peintre paysagiste dans une veine prolongeant la leçon de Corot et des peintres de Barbizon. Puis son style connaît un bouleversement capital à partir de 1888 au contact des artistes de l’École de Pont-Aven. Témoin privilégié de l’éclosion du Synthétisme, il renouvelle alors son approche du paysage par des cadrages audacieux inspirés de l’estampe japonaise, par de larges aplats de couleurs et l’usage modéré du cerne. Dès 1891, il commence ses longs séjours dans les îles du Ponant qui, avec les côtes finistériennes, deviennent ses sujets de prédilection.

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.
