Armand Guillaumin | Figure painting

Born Jean-Baptiste Armand Guillaumin (1841-1927) in Paris, he worked at his uncle's lingerie shop while attending evening drawing lessons.

He also worked for a French government railway before studying at the Académie Suisse in 1861.

There, he met Paul Cézanne🎨 and Camille Pissarro🎨 with whom he maintained lifelong friendships. While he never achieved the stature of these two, his influence on their work was significant.

Claude Emile Schuffenecker (1851-1934)

Émile Schuffenecker was a French🎨 Post-Impressionist artist, painter, art teacher and art collector.

A friend of Paul Gauguin🎨 and Odilon Redon🎨, and one of the first collectors of works by Vincent van Gogh🎨, Schuffenecker was instrumental in establishing The Volpini exhibition, in 1889.

His own work, however, tends to have been neglected since his death - and even worse, recent season campaigns in the media have reactivated resentments virulent since the late 1920s, when Schuffenecker was suspected to have imitated the work of other contemporary artists, among them, Van Gogh.

Edmund Tarbell (1862-1938)

Edmund Charles Tarbell was an American🎨 Impressionist painter.

Edmund Tarbell contributed to America's place in the world of art.

To him and his work Europe turned its eyes in admiration, as did the whole people in America.

Tarbell's works were honest works.

In him was none of the transient sensationalism which brought notoriety to others.
