Armand Guillamin French 1841-1927
Crozant and the Crreuse Hills, Rainy Evening , 1894
Oil on canvas
“I believe that Guillaumin’s ideas as an artist were more developed than those of others, and that if everybody else were like him, we would produce more good things and be less inclined to fight amongst ourselves.” These words of Van Gogh convey the admiration he felt for the artist. Guillaumin was equally esteemed by his peers, who, through his example, often discovered new paths in modern painting.
Guillaumin participated in the first impressionist exhibition, held in the former studio of the photographer Nadar in 1874. Indeed the artist, who died seven months after Monet in 1927, was the groups longest lasting survivor. When he first met Cézanne and Pissarro, it was the beginning of a lifelong collaboration and friendship. The saturated palette of this canvas, freed from a purely mimetic relationship with nature and with its predominant purple and constrasting green, establishes Guillaumin as a precursor of the Fauvre painters.
Promised gift in memory of Bernard Lamarre, a patron of the arts, inv.465.2013

In New York, Durand-Ruel’s American audience were also seeing work by the young pointillistes, as well as paintings by the venerable ‘father’ of impressionism, and fourth remaining member of the original group, Camille Pissarro (now in his fifty-fifth year)….But Cézanne, who had struggled in vain for recognition, also evidently went unrepresented in New York. If you go to Auvers today, where Cézanne lived and painted with Pissarro close by, you can see the church Van Gogh painted and Dr. Gachet’s house. The House of the Hanged Man is still standing, and you can recognize it from Cézanne’s painting, but nothing survives from Cézanne’s domestic life there. His old friend Guillaumin was represented in the American Art Association exhibition by a number of landscapes, as were newcomers Paul Signac and Paul Seurat, whose “Sunday Afternoon on the Island of Grande Jatte hung in Gallery C.
