É. Bernard Portrait de Madame Schuffenecker 19” x 22 1/8”
Bernard Émile
was a pivotal figure in the second half of the 19th century during the transition from Impressionism to a more expressive form of art. Post-Impressionism spawned several independent movements. One was the Pont-Aven School that included Bernard and Paul Gauguin. Their canvases were filled with broad flat areas of vibrant color outlined in black, inspired by stained glass windows of the Gothic churches. This stylistic change was so abrupt that it might be called a revolution rather than an evolution. Provenance

Symbolism Originating in France in the 1870s, Symbolism avoided naturalistic and realistic representation and subject matter, and instead drew on the imaginary, musical, and poetic for inspiration. Symbolist artwork was intended to appeal to the senses, the imagination, and emotions. Émile Bernard, along with Gustave Moreau, Odilon Redon, and Puvis de Chagannes, was one of the most famous of the French Symbolist artists. Bernard explained that “form and color are the most important elements in a work of art...the artist’s role is to reduce every form to its geometrical base in order to allow its mysterious hieroglyph to emerge more clearly...and, in contrast to the classical artist, the symbolists seek to find and emphasize the significant distortion.” Bernard was especially enamored with the luminous colors in stained glass windows and the way the opaque, flat colors are defined by the lead partitions constituting the overall design.

Fauvism and Expressionism
Friendships with Matisse, Marquet, and Camoin heavily influenced his fauve style, but association with Van Gogh led to his most noted style of heavy black contouring and stark contrasts.

Loiseau
Gustave Loiseau was known as one of the most sincere interpreters of the French
countryside. Although he was a close friend of the painters Maxime Maufra and Paul Gaugin, Loiseau most identified stylistically with the Impressionists, especially Claude Monet, both of who favored painting landscapes en plein air and directly on the canvas. Like the Impressionists, Loiseau was represented by the art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel, enabling him to travel extensively throughout the regions of Îlede-France, Normandy, Brittany, and the Dordogne, where he worked out-of-doors, producing spontaneous, light-infused landscapes. “I try to reproduce as best I can the impression I get from nature,” commented Loiseau, “I am guided only by instinct.”

Genth h
An American Impressionist painter, Lillian Genth, is best known for her stunning depictions of female nudes in fantastical, serene outdoor settings.

In just the 30 years she appeared in over 230 exhibitons, and her works can now be found in prestigious museums and institutions across the United States.

Gérôme h
Jean-Léon Gérôme was one of the most celebrated academic painters of the nineteenth century. He wielded enormous influence in France as a painter, a professor at the École des Beauxarts in Paris, a judge at the Salon of the Société des Artistes Français, and as a master of his own highly regarded atelier, or studio. While exhibiting the fine draftsmanship characteristic of academic painting, Gérôme’s pictures, which included mythological and Orientalist subjects, were recognized for their rich color, exact detail, and vivacious finish.

h Barbizon h
The Barbizon School of painting was a major nineteenth-century art movement that was named after the small village of Barbizon in the forest of Fontainebleau, southeast of Paris. Artists who travelled to Barbizon and the surrounding forest were interested in naturalistic landscape painting en plein air (out-of-doors) and visiting the subject of rural life. The Impressionists and their desire to depict the effects of sunlight and paint out-of-doors were inspired by the artists of the Barbizon school. Barbizon painters emphasized color in their compositions, were interested in capturing various atmospheric affects, such as shimmering and dappled light, and used loose, fluid brushwork.
