About
Why this artist matters now
Georges Lemmen was a Belgian painter and printmaker central to the development of Neo-Impressionism and Divisionism in the 1880s and 1890s. Working primarily in oil and watercolor, he applied systematic pointillist technique to landscapes, interiors, and portrait studies with particular attention to the effects of light and atmospheric condition. Lemmen exhibited with Les XX, the influential Brussels-based avant-garde group, and remained committed to the scientific color theory that defined his practice throughout his career.
