LOT NOTES
Henri Lebasque, a painter of the French Post-Impressionism movement, is best known as the founding member of the Salon d'Automne along Henri Matisse. Lebasque`s influences, which he adopted into his own fluid and vibrant style, ranged from Vuillard and Renoir to Seurat and the Fauvists.<br><br>Like many modern artists, Lebasque was particularly fond of domestic interiors, painted here mainly <i>a la prima</i> with swift gestural brushstrokes - a marked departure from his earlier Pointillistic style. Created during a formative period of the artist`s development, this work exhibits a great interest in the interplay of light and color, which would become a hallmark of his oeuvre. With few sharp contours, Lebasque`s modeling is almost entirely chromatic, seen especially in the warm yellow highlights and blue-grey shadows. The faces of the two girls are all but obscured, with only subtle indications of their physiognomies. Interestingly, as a student at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, Lebasque specialised in portraiture, and executed many portraits during the course of his career. However, as his style changed in the mid-1910s, Lebasque turned to more flattened forms, filled with broad areas of color - an idea we see the artist working through in this particular canvas, where remnants of a primarily additive approach (such as in the faces and hands of the two girls) border quick applications of reds, whites, and browns. - Shipping Info
