Renoir
Pierre-Auguste Renoir was born in Limoges on 25 February 1841. In 1854, the boy's parents took him from school and found a place for him in the Lévy brothers' workshop, where he was to learn to paint porcelain. Renoir's younger brother Edmond had this to say this about the move: "From what he drew in charcoal on the walls, they concluded that he had the ability for an artist's profession. That…

Pissarro
"Father Pissarro", as his friends liked to call him, was the most restrained of the artists of the Impressionist movement. Perhaps it was his age, being older than his fellow artists Monet, Sisley, Bazille, and Renoir, or rather his maturity, which resulted in his works having such serene and sober subjects and compositions. A man of simple tastes, he enjoyed painting peasants going about their…

Sisley
Alfred Sisley (Paris, 1839 – Moret-Sur-Loing, 1899). Alfred Sisley naquit à Paris le 30 octobre 1839 dans une famille anglaise. Ayant atteint ses dix-huit ans, ses parents l'envoyèrent en Angleterre. C'est alors, probablement, qu'il pressentit, devant la facture libre des paysages, à l'apparence d'esquisses, de Turner et Constable, sa vocation pour la peinture. Le destin amena Sisley, en o…

The Fauves
Born at the dawn of the 20th century, Fauvism burst onto the artistic scene at the 1905 Salon d'Automne with great controversy by throwing bright, vibrant colours in the face of artistic convention. Fuelled by change, artists like Matisse, Derain, and Vlaminck searched for a new chromatic language by using colour out of its habitual context. Freed from the strict technique advocated by the Éco…

Toulouse-Lautrec
Lautrec studied with two of the most admired academic painters of the day, Léon Bonnat and Fernand Cormon. Lautrec's time in the studios of Bonnat and Cormon had the advantage of introducing him to the nude as a subject. At that time life-drawing of the nude was the basis of all academic art training in nineteenth-century Paris. While still a student, Lautrec began to explore Parisian nightlif…

Toulouse-Lautrec
Toulouse-Lautrec begann noch während seines Studiums das Pariser Nachtleben zu erkunden; es sollte ihm zur wichtigsten Quelle der Inspiration werden und schließlich auch zur Beeinträchtigung seiner Gesundheit führen. Das Paris der 1890er Jahre mit seinen schillernden Charakteren kann man nur durch die Augen Lautrecs wahrnehmen. Die erste bedeutende Persönlichkeit des Pariser Nachtlebens, d…

Edgar Degas
Germain Hilaire Edgar Degas (Paris, 1834 – 1917) Dans le cercle des impressionnistes, c'est de Renoir que Degas fut le plus proche : tous deux préférèrent comme motif de leur peinture le Paris vivant de leur époque. Degas ne passa pas par l'atelier de Gleyre et fit probablement connaissance avec les futurs impressionnistes au café Guerbois. En 1853, il commença à faire son apprentissag…
