Luce maximillien (3 Ergebnisse)

Zustand: Good. 4to. Original wraps. 8pp. 24 color reproductions.Pioneer of Neo-Impressionism and a cornerstone of anarchist and libertarian circles, Maximilien Luce (1858-1941) left a lasting mark on his time through his profound artistic and political commitments.As a painter of urban and rural landscapes and the human condition, he captured the social and industrial transformations of his era.Beyond the humanistic quality that gives heart to his work and defines it as a whole, landscape is the other dominant theme that animates his painting throughout his life.Luce captures light and color, revealing the beauty of landscapes with a unique sensitivity.Maximilien Luce belonged to this pivotal generation, which experienced both the splendor of the Belle Epoque and social unrest, benefiting from numerous technical advances and suffering just as much at the time of the First World War.

The Luce comet joined the neo-Impressionist constellation formed by Georges Seurat, Paul Signac, Camille Pissarro and Henri-Edmond Cross at his first exhibition, at the Société des Artistes Indépendants in 1887.

In Very Good condition. Artwork measures 6 in. x 14 in. Matted in border measuring 18 in. x 14 in. Shelved at Rockville PS1101. Created by the father of poster art, Jules Chéret, during Paris's Belle Époque, the Maîtres de l'Affiche series ("Master of the Poster") was meant to provide the public with accessible, displayable versions of large advertisement posters. Since posters of the time were often very large (sometimes five to eight feet) and printed on cheap paper not meant to last, Chéret designed a series of lithographs printed on high quality paper at a size displayable in the layperson's home. The original collection was released as a series of monthly publications delivered to subscribers over a sixty month period. The posters were published four at a time, with sixteen 'bonus' posters added periodically over the years. 1414229. Special Collections - Upstairs.…
