| biography:
| Impressionist painter, born in Paris, France. A clerk who painted as a hobby, he met Cézanne at the Académie Suisse (1861) and exhibited at the first Impressionist exhibition (1874) and most later exhibitions by the group. A friend of Gaugin, Pissarro, and van Gogh, in 1891 he won 100 000 francs in a lottery and devoted himself to painting. Regarded as one of the minor Impressionists, his later work was closer to Fauvism. His works include La Place Valhubert, Paris (1875, Musée d'Orsay, Paris). |
