Emile Bernard (1868-1941)
 

In his wonderful Japanese records pediment placed the work of Emile Bernard, and I once again fell under the charm of this artist, maybe even probably not the most important thing in this extraordinarily rich period of the late 19 - early 20 centuries. - I think about it at all rarely remember when it comes to French painting of this time - and I wanted to put on the forum some of his works.

The son of an industrialist from the north of France, moved to Paris, Emile Bernard began to study painting in the studio of Fernand Cormon, when he was 10 years old. There he became acquainted with Louis Anketenom and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (who wrote his portrait).
In 1887, he met Van Gogh. At this time he used the technique ptsantellizma. In the spring of that year he traveled to Normandy and Brittany, where he met Gauguin (Van Gogh gave him a letter of recommendation) that led to that of puantellizma he moved to Cloisonnism (cloison - septum; outlines the contours of objects with dark outlines, a theoretical framework which they developed together with Anketenom.
In August 1888, Bernard moved to Pont Aven. This peridium is extremely important for its development, has led to the emergence of Pont-Avenskogo symbolism of a syncretism characteristic simplification of forms and colors, eliminating all that is not remembered with direct visualization.

In 1891, Bernard quarrel with Gauguin, whom he accused that he arrogated to himself all the discoveries made by the Pont-Avenskoy group (U Gauguin has tendency to absorb everything like a sponge. He is closely following the work of Bernard "). Insult to Gauguin, Bernard retained all zheizn.

In 1893 his metsen Antoine de la Roshfuko financed his trip to Egypt, where he lived for 10 years.

It is very sad, but in my opinion, his work in the last years of his life, in fact, following the departure to Egypt, in no way remarkable - it is one of the very rare, I think, when all the charm, freshness and originality of his early paintings had disappeared without trace ...

Resentment toward Gauguin, Bernard retained all zheizn.
