Henry Moret: Painter of Brittany (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798698844969)

In love with Brittany where Henry Moret spent all of his life, he understood the intimate feeling for beings and for things; he ignored nothing. He knew the small ports surrounded by the Breton hills; he noted the red sails on the green and blue seas, the teeming of the fishermen leaving and returning to the dock. His little figurines were excessively studied for their movements. The people and the animals that he placed in his landscapes, of rich and opulent tones were always there at the place where they should be. He examined the horizon with his eye while walking within the nature that he loved. Coasts, forests, valleys, in every season, he observed them with all of his senses and reproduced them accordingly, with all of his spirit and sincerity.Utilizing the Kvamme process of digital enhancement, the present array of Henry Moret's paintings vividly highlights his very particular embrace of Impressionist and Synthetic techniques in a masterful reconciliation of two competing artistic orthodoxies to develop a unique artistic vocabulary of his own.
