| biography:
| Painter, born in Bordeaux, SW France. He studied under Gustave Moreau, and was one of the original Fauves. After initial hardships, he became primarily an Impressionist landscape painter and travelled widely, painting many pictures of Le Havre, Algiers, and the Seine, such as his ‘Pont neuf’. A close friend of Matisse, his later work, mainly landscapes and town views, was characterized by a simple technique and delicacy of colour. |
