oil on masonite 54 x 65 cm

Pierre-Eugène Montézin (1874–1946) was a French Post-Impressionist painter celebrated for his vibrant landscapes and mastery of light. Born in Paris, he was introduced to art early, as his father was a lace draftsman. Montézin initially trained in decorative mural painting but was deeply influenced by the Impressionist movement, particularly the works of Claude Monet.

He embraced the "en plein air" technique, painting outdoors to capture the natural beauty of rural France. His works often depicted serene countryside scenes, including forests, rivers, and snow-covered landscapes. Montézin's dedication to his craft earned him recognition, and he was awarded the prestigious Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur in 1923. He also served as the President of the Salon Jury in 1933 and was elected to the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1941.

Montézin's art is characterized by its lively brushstrokes and vibrant use of color, reflecting his love for nature and light. His works are displayed in prominent museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in Paris and the Kunsthalle Museum in Mannheim.

Maurice Brazil Prendergast (October 10, 1858 – February 1, 1924) was an American Post-Impressionist artist who worked in oil, watercolor, and monotype. He exhibited as a member of The Eight, though the delicacy of his compositions and mosaic-like beauty of his style differed from the artistic intentions and philosophy of the group.

Gustave Loiseau

The Haystack, 1899


Le Champ de Ble, 1904

Oil on canvas, 71 x 58 cm

Gustave Loiseau (3 October 1865, Paris – 10 October 1935, Paris) was a French Post-Impressionist painter, remembered above all for his landscapes and scenes of Paris streets.
Loiseau's paintings, revealing his passion for the seasons from the beginning of spring to the harvests later in the autumn, often depict the same orchard or garden scene as time goes by. Series of this kind, which also include cliffs, harbours or churches, are reminiscent of Claude Monet. Although Loiseau did not complete many portraits, he often painted people at work: dockers together with their boats, villagers leaving a Sunday service in Brittany or arriving at the market in Pont-Aven, or even carriages in Paris driving across the Place de la Bastille and the Étoile. He is also remembered for his paintings of Paris streets such as the Rue de Clignancourt or the Avenue de Fiedland. From the 1920s, he painted many still-lifes. His overall approach, rather than being associated with any particular theory, is simply an attempt to represent scenes as sincerely as possible.

Study for “Les poseuses”

Georges Pierre Seurat (1859 – 1891) was a French Post-Impressionist painter and draftsman. He is noted for his innovative use of drawing media and for devising the technique of painting known as pointillism. His large-scale work A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1884–1886) altered the direction of modern art by initiating Neo-impressionism. It is one of the icons of late 19th-century painting.
Seurat’s color system — pointillism — involved dividing colors into their component parts and applying those colors to the canvas in tiny dots. The forms become comprehensible only from a distance.

Augustus Edwin John OM, RA, (4 January 1878 – 31 October 1961) was a Welsh painter, draughtsman, and etcher. For a short time around 1910, he was an important exponent of Post-Impressionism in the United Kingdom.
"Augustus was celebrated first for his brilliant figure drawings, and then for a new technique of oil sketching. His work was favourably compared in London with that of Gauguin and Matisse. He then developed a style of portraiture that was imaginative and often extravagant, catching an instantaneous attitude in his subjects."
