Movement(s): Post Impressionism
Henri Lebasque (1865 – 1937) was a French post-impressionist painter. He started his education at the Ecole regionale des beaux-arts d’Angers, and moved to Paris in 1886. There, Lebasque started studying under Leon Bonnat, and assisted Ferdinand Humbert with the decorative murals at the Pantheon. Around this time, Lebasque met Camille Pissarro and Auguste Renoir, who later would have a large impact on his work.
From his first acquaintance with Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, Lebasque learnt the significance of a colour theory which stressed the use of complementary colours in shading.
Lebasque also became friends with artists such as Raoul Dufy, Louis Valtat, and Henri Manguin, the last of whom introduced Lebasque to the South of France. His time in South of France would lead to a radical transformation in Lebasque’s paintings, changing his colour palette forever. Other travels included the Vendée, Normandy, and Brittany.
