French artist Armand Coussens ( 1881-1935 ) was a painter, engraver, illustrator and was particularly renowned for his color etchings. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Nimes after which he moved to Paris where he exhibited in the major salons of the day such as the Societe des Artistes Francais. . Coussens was a great promoter of color etchings which were still regarded as inferior to black-and-white despite the achievements of artists such as Raffaëlli in the previous generation. He died in Nîmes in 1935. His works are in collections all over the world especially his soft ground color etchings.

Armand Coussens
Armand Coussens studied at the École supérieure des beaux-arts de Nîmes. Upon graduation, he lived and worked in Paris for the following 10 years. There both his paintings and etchings were frequently exhibited at major salons such as the Société des Artistes Français and at Hôtel Drouot. Coussens then moved back to his studio in Nimes where he continued to create his beautiful colour etchings of landscapes and figure studies. Today, examples of his art are included in prominent public collections in New York, London, Tokyo and Paris. As a leading colour etcher, Coussens's art was often appreciated for his use of combining the thick, velvety lines of drypoint engraving with the delicate lines of soft-ground etching. Such techniques gave his art unique tonal values.
