Book overview
Henri Martin was one of France's great Post-Impressionist painters. He dabbled in Symbolism, dedicated a lot of his time to Pointillism and is regarded today as one of the most important Neo-Impressionists in French art history. His landscape paintings are characterized by an astonishing softness, and his warm, mild colors reproduce topography, light, temperature and moods all at once. When viewing his paintings, it is difficult not to be affected by the artist's tranquil and almost meditative universe.
Henri Martin was a very successful artist in his time. He was not poor, sick or particularly troubled in any way. He did not have to cut his ear off to be a good artist. He was a well-balanced family man who was successful in both a commercial and artistic sense. His works were in great demand throughout his long career, and he received a host of commissions from the public sector.
The present work showcases a fine array of new photographic images of paintings by Martin utilizing the Kvamme process of digital enhancement.
