Albert MARQUET "Pont de Bergue" 1940 ORIGINAL hand signed lithograph

Albert Marquet : (1875-1947) is a french painter born in Bordeaux in 1875, and who died in Paris in 1947. He was a friend of Matisse and Derain. He kept from his Fauve period the sense of colour and light. He painted Paris and its surroundings, the Seine bridges, the streets at night, Paris under the snow or the sun. Like Monet, he liked creating series depending on seasons, or day time. He is part of the postimpressionist generation. He took part in 1905 to the scandal Fauve exhibition. He gave up thi style later, in the search of a tone harmony. Water is one of his favorite theme, (Seine, rivesides, North Africa harbours such as Alger, Oran, Tunis or La Goulette. Starting from 1919, he travelled a lot, including to Tunisia and Algeria, joined by Jean Launois and Étienne Bouchaud. During summer 1920, Marquet invited Signac to meet him in La Rochelle. During World War II he fled the german invasion, and settled in Algeria until the end of the war. He came back to Paris in 1945.
