Artist

Henri Le Sidaner

Painting

The crepuscular gardens and quiet street corners of Henri Le Sidaner’s paintings and pastels conjure a romantic, mysterious world of intimate sentimentality. Throughout his distinguished career, Le Sidaner remained chiefly concerned with capturing atmospheric light, using dappled brushstrokes to evoke the diffuse luminosity of twilight. Often categorized as an Intimist, Le Sidaner’s highly personal oeuvre also displays Symbolist tendencies, along with the unmistakable influence of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists.
