Gaston La Touche
Gaston La Touche, artiste majeur de la fin du XIXe siècle et du début du XXe siècle, a débuté sa carrière dans un style naturaliste inspiré par Manet et Zola, avant d'évoluer vers une esthétique plus joyeuse et personnelle à partir des années 1890. Il s’illustre notamment par des scènes de fêtes, des portraits et des paysages bucoliques, dans lesquels la lumière et la couleur jouent un rôle central. Cette transformation stylistique lui vaut d'être comparé aux peintres rococo du XVIIIe siècle et surnommé "le fils de Watteau". Au cours de sa carrière, Gaston La Touche a exposé très fréquemment ses oeuvres, avec la Société des artistes français de 1874 à 1889, puis à la Société nationale des beaux-arts à partir de 1890, ainsi qu'avec la Société Nouvelle, les Aquarellistes et les Pastellistes. Célébré de son vivant comme l'un des acteurs majeurs de la peinture décorative, son talent lui a permis d'être décoré chevalier de la Légion d’honneur en 1900, puis officier en 1909.
Ses oeuvres sont présentes dans de nombreux musées en France et dans le monde entier.
