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.
