Henri Martin
La Bastide du Vert - Post Impressionist Pointillist Landscape Oil - Henri Martin

1910

About the Item

Stunning signed pointillist oil on panel circa 1910 by sought after French post impressionist painter Henri Martin. The work depicts a view of a bastide in France. A bastide is a village or town built for defense. Smoke escapes from the chimneys over the rooftops. Trees can be seen in the distance and hills beyond. A wonderful piece brushed in the artist's distinctive style. Signature: Signed lower right Dimensions: Framed: 29"x33" Unframed: 20"x24" Provenance: The Kaplan Gallery - London This work will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonne of the work of Henri Martin under preparation by Madame Marie-Anne Destrebecq-Martin Born in Toulouse to a French cabinet maker and a mother of Italian descent, Martin successfully persuaded his father to permit him to become an artist. He began his career in 1877 at the Toulouse School of the Fine Arts, where he was under the tutelage of Jules Garipuy (he was also a pupil of Henry-Eugéne Delacroix). In 1879, Martin relocated to Paris and with the help of a scholarship, was able to study in Jean-Paul Laurens' studio. Four years later, he received his first medal at the Paris Salon, where he would hold his first exhibition three years later in 1886. The year after he won his first medal, Martin was awarded a scholarship for a tour in Italy, where he studied the work of veterans such as Giotto and Masaccio. His 1889 canvas submission to the Salon earned him the gold medal for work that has been described as Pointillist. That same year he became a member of the Legion of Honour. At the 1900 World Fair, he was awarded the Grand Prize for his work. During this period, he became friends with Auguste Rodin. Although Martin's work as a neo-impressionist is not considered groundbreaking, his work was rather well-received, and has been associated with world-class symbolist painter, Puvis de Chavannes. Due to his introverted temperament, Martin decided to move away from Paris. After a decade of searching for an ideal home, Martin bought Marquayrol, a mansion overlooking La Bastide du Vert, near Cahors. He performed his best work in the new tranquil environment, and died there in 1943. Martin also taught; among his pupils was the American painter Nellie Ellen Shepherd
