About the Item

Atmospheric impressionist portrait of a woman standing by Maurice Wagemans. This dark and moody, turn of the century old painting is by an artist who was influenced in Paris in his early career by some of the greats like Edouard Manet and Fantin Latour and you can clearly see the influence here. A woman in black stands next to a tall dresser. She has a fan in one hand and an umbrella in the other, both in a green colour that matches the ring on her finger. It's a stunning painting that is incredibly eye-cathcing and elegant. Maurice Wagemans ( 1877-1927) Wagemans was born in Brussels. At the age of thirteen, he attended the Brussels Academy where, under the tutorship of Jean Portaels and Joseph Stallaert, he learned the rudiments of painting in oils. Graduating in 1895, he, along with his fellow artists Alfred Bastien and Frans Smeers, he traveled to Paris where he rapidly made a name for himself and later became an associate member of the Société nouvelle des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Whilst in Paris, he soon became familiar with the works of Fantin Latour and in particular Edouard Manet whose influences were clearly visible in his portraits of this period. By 1900 he had returned to Belgium and in that year first exhibited with the art group, ‘Le Sillon’ followed in 1902 with his debut at the Salon de Gands where he exhibited a painting entitled `Woman in Grey’. Stylistically his work under went a complete change in 1912 when, after meeting the Luminists Marcel Jeffreys and Rik Wouters, he commenced using a vivid palette full of reds, oranges and blues. This new work was first shown in 1912 at the Galerie G. Giroux in Brussels. During the First World War Wagemans continued to paint having moved to Switzerland to avoid the hostilities. Major shows of his work were held in Switzerland in 1916 and 1917 and again in Brussels after the Armistice in 1919. His work was highly regarded for its force and strength of color and he was honored in London at the Artists Association. Paintings by Maurice Wagemans can be seen in museums throughout the world including those in Brussels, Ghent, Dublin and Johannesburg. A Note on the painting and frame: Both are in good condition. The frame is vintage, black wood with a black velvet trim. FOR MY USA CLIENTS - WORRIED ABOUT TARIFFS? Don't be!
