Pierre-Albert Marquet (1875-1947)

by Explore the Masters: , , ,

Albert Marquet was a French painter, associated with the Fauvist movement.
He initially became one of the Fauve painters and a lifelong friend of Henri Matisse.
Marquet subsequently painted in a more naturalistic style, primarily landscapes, but also several portraits and, between 1910-1914, several female figure paintings.


The English painter John McLean is among those who consider that "his feeling for colour, the lightness or darkness and saturation of it, its weight, is nothing less than astounding".
Marquet was particularly revered by the American painters Leland Bell and his wife Louisa Matthiasdottir.

He was also revered by Bell's contemporaries Al Kresch and Gabriel Laderman.
Since both Bell and Laderman were teachers in several American art schools, they have had an influence on younger American figurative artists and their appreciation of Marquet.






















Pierre-Albert Marquet (Bordeaux, 27 marzo 1875 - Parigi, 13 giugno 1947) è stato un pittore Francese.
Il pittore inglese John McLean è tra quelli che ritengono che "il suo sentimento per il colore, la leggerezza o l'oscurità e la saturazione di esso, il suo peso, non è altro che sorprendente".


Marquet era particolarmente venerato dai pittori americani Leland Bell e dalla moglie Louisa Matthiasdottir.
Fu anche venerato dai contemporanei di Bell, Al Kresch e Gabriel Laderman.
Dato che sia Bell che Laderman erano insegnanti in diverse scuole d'arte americane, hanno influenzato i più giovani artisti figurativi americani ed il loro apprezzamento per Marque.
