Painting
Dubbed “the painter of joy and light,” Henri Lebasque vibrantly evoked the sun-dappled landscapes and plush interiors of the French Riviera. A transitional figure between the Impressionists and the Fauves, his lively compositions show an attentiveness to the subtle shifts and diffusions of natural light as well as a readiness to inject purely expressive hues and gestures to a boldly emotive affect.
