Theo van Rysselberghe
Portrait de Sylvie Lacombe

1906

About the Item

"Portrait de Sylvie Lacombe" is a Post-Impressionist painting by Théo van Rysselberghe. The portrait is signed with monogram and dedication, upper right, "pour ma petite amie Sylvie Lacombe, Versailles juin 1906". The framed piece measures 32 x 37 3/4 x 3 1/4 in. Théo van Rysselberghe was one of the most prominent Post-Impressionist and a leader of the avant garde artists in Belgium. Van Rysselberghe's early paintings were influenced by the Impressionists but in 1886, it was upon seeing Georges Seurat's monumental 'Sunday Afternoon on the Ile de la Grande Jatte', now at the Art Institute of Chicago, that changed the trajectory of his artistic style. Van Rysselberghe adopted the Pointillist style championed by Seurat and Paul Signac. His greatest contribution to Post-Impressionism was his application to its methodology and tenets to portraits. Today his works are collected by museums across the globe, including the Metropolitant Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Louvre in Paris. Provenance: M. Lacombe Paul Gal.

  • La lecture au jardin (Lesson in the Garden)
    By Georges d'Espagnat
    Located in New Orleans, LA
    French Post-Impressionist painter Georges d’Espagnat captures a charming moment between a mother and her child in this vibrant oil on canvas. Rendered with a studied use of complementary colors and bold brushstrokes, the painting showcases the artist's unique Post-Impressionist style. Remembered as one of the most individualistic artists of the 20th century, his distinctive canvases bring together the loose brushwork of the Impressionists and the bold color palette favored by the Fauves. Together, they achieve a vibrant spontaneity that lends itself well to the carefree subjects of the present work. Masterfully composed, La lecture au jardin moves beyond the Impressionist instinct to capture a fleeting moment on canvas. Rather, d'Espagnat succeeds in creating a deep feeling of harmony in the work. Warm colors are perfectly balanced with cool tones, while vertical and horizontal lines are softened by the curves of the foliage and his subjects' figures. Through his simplification of forms and intentional use of color and line, he creates a scene that is carefully designed and thoroughly modern. A similar view of a mother and her child by d'Espagnat is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York). The Post-Impressionist painter was an individualist since his youth, choosing to forgo traditional schooling in order to independently study the Old Masters in the Louvre. He soon became involved with the most prominent Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painters of the age, including Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Paul Signac, who themselves existed outside the traditional norms of French Academic training. In 1891, he exhibited at the Salon des Refusés, and again the following year at the Salon des Indépendants. By 1895, he held his first one-man show in Paris, and just three years later his success earned him a solo show at the prestigious Durand-Ruel Gallery. Between 1905 and 1910 he made several trips to visit Renoir on the Côte d’Azur. Their close friendship resulted in a group exhibition at Marcel Bernheim...
