Henri Lebasque Figurative Paintings
French, 1865-1937
Henri Lebasque (25 September 1865 – 7 August 1937) was a French post-impressionist painter. He was born at Champigné (Maine-et-Loire). Lebasque was a founding member of the Salon d'Automne in 1903 with his friend Henri Matisse. Two years later, a group of artists exhibited there including Georges Rouault, André Derain, Édouard Vuillard, and Matisse. Lebasque also became friends with artists such as Gustave Rouault, Raoul Dufy, Louis Valtat, and Henri Manguin, the last of whom introduced Lebasque to the South of France. His time in South of France would lead to a radical transformation in Lebasque’s paintings, changing his colour palette forever. Other travels included the Vendée, Normandy, and Brittany. His work is represented in French museums, notably Angers, Geneva (Petit Palais), Lille (Musée des Beaux-Arts), Nantes, and Paris (Musée d’Orsay). Lebasque died at Cannet, Alpes Maritimes in 1937.to

Rowboat Beneath the Trees, 1918
Located in Stockholm, SE
This evocative landscape by Axel Edvard Peter captures the serene beauty of nature with remarkable skill. Painted in 1918, the scene depicts a wooden rowboat resting in still waters beneath the sheltering branches of a lush tree. The dappled sunlight filtering through the foliage creates a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow, while the artist’s use of short, expressive brushstrokes imbues the composition with a vibrant, almost impressionistic quality. The rich greens and golden hues of the landscape reflect Peter’s mastery of color and atmosphere.
Axel Peter was a Swedish painter known for his distinctive artistic voice, shaped by his studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm and further training in Paris and Germany. He was part of the influential Opponents’ Movement (Opponentrörelsen) of 1885, alongside artists such as Richard Bergh, Nils Kreuger, and Eugène Jansson...

Young Woman Sewing
Oil on paper on panel
Signed “Lebasque” (bottom right)
In this effusive oil on paper, Henri Lebasque captures a quiet, contemplative scene of a young girl sewing. Her eyes intently trained on the piece of white fabric in front of her, the artist makes the scene come alive with vibrant hues of orange, red and purple. The subject and her surroundings are rendered in loose, stylized brushstrokes that imbue the work with energy and vitality. Often called the “painter of joy and light,” Lebasque’s talent for creating bright, airy canvases is on magnificent display here.
Henri Lebasque is remembered as a remarkable Post-Impressionist painter. Rooting himself in the Parisian art scene in the early 20th century, he exhibited in the influential Salon des Indépendants alongside artists like Georges Seurat, Paul Cézanne, Edouard Vuillard and Pierre Bonnard. He then went on to found the Salon d’Automne with Henri Matisse and other artist friends. His friendships with these artists and his visits to the south of France, initially encouraged by fellow painter Henri Manguin...

Private collection - Switzerland
Henri Lebasque studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Angers, then, after moving to Paris in 1886, studied briefly under Bonnat, then under Humbert, whom he assisted in the decoration of the Panthéon. More importantly, he met and learned from Pissarro.
In 1893 he met Luce and Signac at the Salon des Indépendants, and as a result he adopted Pointillism for a few years. In the 1900s he lived in Lagny with his family and painted landscapes of the neighbouring Marne forest. His painting underwent drastic changes when he discovered the south of the country. He would thereafter live in other French regions: Vendée, Brittany and Normandy, where he stayed at Les Andelys for some time, but his home from home was between Sanary and Nice.
He painted members of his family in the settings in which he lived, mostly in Provence. His work shares some themes of his friend Bonnard. But although he exhibited with the Fauves, and admired Matisse, Rouault, Dufy, Valtat and Manguin (who introduced him to the Midi), he remained distinct from them in style. Lebasque was well known in his lifetime. He collaborated on the decorations of the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées and of the Atlantic liner Paris. He is remembered for: Nymphs at their Bath; The Sunshade; Girl with Hydrangeas; Great Nude on a Pink Sofa.
He took part in the following collective exhibitions: Salon des Indépendants, 1886; Salon des Artistes Français; and later the Salon d'Automne, of which he was a founding member in 1903 and on whose committee he sat until his death. A set of his works was shown in 1937 at Masters of Independent Art ( Maîtres de l'Art Indépendant) at the Petit Palais. In 1957, 20 years after his death, a retrospective exhibition was held at the Musée des Ponchettes in Nice, and in 1981 his works were exhibited at St-Paul-de-Vence.

Madame Lebasque et sa fille Marthe (Madame Lebasque and her Daughter Marthe)
By Henri Lebasque
Located in New Orleans, LA
Signed “Lebasque” (lower left)
Oil on canvas
While also a painter of nudes and landscapes, the Post-Impressionist Henri Lebasque is perhaps most celebrated for his intimate portrayals of his family life. Madame Lebasque et sa fille Marthe is an exceptional example of this coveted subset of works within his oeuvre. It demonstrates the artist at his very best, from its vibrant yet constrained color palette to its masterfully cropped composition that subtly directs the viewer's gaze.
The work exemplifies the intimism practiced by many of the French Post-Impressionists and Lebasque in particular. The genre is dedicated to intimate views of domestic interiors that feature artfully posed female subjects in natural light. Thanks to his very deliberate compositional cropping, Madame Lebasque et sa fille Marthe feels highly personal and familiar, as though the artist has welcomed us into his home. He allows the viewer access to this intimate moment between mother and daughter; while Madame Lebasque's expression cannot be seen, Marthe gazes at her with a deep sense of devotion and innocence of childhood. Lebasque painted his daughters at various stages of their lives, but it is the childhood portraits such as these that truly express the love and devotion between child and parent.
Lebasque was born in 1865 in Maine-et-Loire and moved to Paris in 1885, where he often visited the atelier of Léon Bonnat. He studied painting at the École des Beaux Arts and fell under the influence of his fellow students Pierre Bonnard and Edouard Vuillard. Most notably, he was a founding member of the Salon d’Automne in 1903 along with Henri Matisse, the annual exhibition that in 1905 featured the controversial paintings...
