Product Description

The French painter Henri Le Sidaner (1862-1939) chose to spend most of his life in quiet isolation away from both Paris and the polemics of his day. He used small distinct brushstrokes and his canvases have a luminous almost mystical quality but he was neither a Pointillist nor a Symbolist. When asked which school he belonged to he replied: 'None. But if you absolutely insist on categorizing me I am an Intimist.' This biography is the sole contemporary account of Le Sidaner's career and now after more than ninety years it has finally been translated into English. Camille Mauclair discusses the artist's youth influences technique choice of subjects as well as his particular attachment to the village of Gerberoy. Hardcover. 142 pages. Includes 70 colour illustrations. show more
