After studying with with Camille Pissarro and Paul Cézanne at the Académie Suisse in 1866, he painted with them regularly \u003cem\u003een plein air\u003c\/em\u003e, eventually developing a distinctive style of open air landscapes that were punctuated by a vivid use of color. The present view, which was painted at the height of his career and the apex of Impressionism, reflects his masterful study of light and his highly modern palette. Painted in strong impastos with vibrant colors, it portends his eventual adoption of a Fauvist palette later in his career. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Born in Paris in 1841, Armand Guillaumin first work as a clerk of a railway company before deciding to pursue a career in art. A natural talent, he quickly progressed to the Académie Suisse, where he met Paul Cézanne and Camille Pissarro, two of the founding Impressionists. He would go on to exhibit at the Salon des Réfusés in 1863, and showed at six of the eight Impressionist exhibitions between 1874 and 1886. Winning a large prize in a lottery in 1891, he was able to completely devote himself to painting right at the apex of his career. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Thanks to his new wealth, Guillaumin visited Crozant, a commune in the Upper Valley of the Creuse, for the first time in 1892. In 1897, he settled there permanently, building his own house there in 1910. He also made visits to many other parts of France, especially the South, and also to Holland. His first one-man exhibition was in 1897 at Durand-Ruel in Paris. He enjoyed a long career, an experimented with the various styles of the Post-Impressionists in his later life; in fact, his studio became a haven for artists such as Paul Gauguin, Paul Signac and Georges Seurat, while Vincent Van Gogh was a particular friend. Today, his work can be seen in many French museums, including the Musée d’Art Moderne (Paris). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The present work will be included in the forthcoming second volume of the Armand Guillaumin catalogue raisonné being prepared by the Comité Guillaumin with Dominique Fabiani, Stéphanie Chardeau-Botteri and Jacques de la Béraudière. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Canvas: 19 3\/4\" high x 24 1\/4\" wide\u003cbr\u003e Frame: 29 3\/8\" high x 34\" wide","brand":"M.S.
