William Malherbe
Malherbe William, born on December 28, 1884, was a distinguished French painter whose artistic contributions flourished within the realm of post-impressionism. His creative brilliance illuminated the modern art scene during his active years. William Malherbe started exhibiting in Paris at the age of 18 years. He studied Architecture for a year and a half at the School of Decorative Arts. He has experimented with various styles, such as Cubism, Fauvism, Post-impressionism and Neo-Impressionism, and in the end developed a purely personal style. Malherbe had among his friends and inspiration the foremost painters of this lively period in the Arts, such as Renoir and Bonnard. Between 1939 and 1948 William Malherbe stayed in the United States. However, Malherbe developed a singular style of his own, unique enough to be singled out by the famous art historian, critic and poet Gustave Kahn as “a particularly interesting artist of the day”. Renowned for his evocative works, such as “The Lady with the Pink Hat,” “Still Life with Anemones,” and “The Reading,” Malherbe displayed a profound mastery of various subjects, including portraiture, still life, and captivating genre scenes. Muzéo proudly presents exquisite reproductions of William Malherbe’s celebrated artworks, capturing the essence of his artistic legacy. His enduring impact continues to resonate within the world of art and beyond.
