Louis Anquetin

Painting

Louis Anquetin was a French painter and printmaker active in late 19th-century Paris, associated with the Post-Impressionist movement. Working in oil, pastel, and lithography, he developed a distinctive approach to color saturation and bold outline that anticipated Cloisonnism. His urban scenes and portraits, executed with flattened forms and vivid chromatic contrasts, appeared in the independent salons of the 1880s alongside the work of Toulouse-Lautrec and Émile Bernard.
