Landscape Paintings of Modern French Art: From Corot to Matisse
Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum, Tokyo
Finished

Modern French landscape painting began with a break from historical landscape painting, which depicted natural scenery in classical expressions. Camille Corot faithfully observed nature, sketched outdoors, and lyrically depicted ideal scenes from real landscapes. Gustave Courbet rejected idealization, painted nature as it was with a rough touch, and promoted Realism, which depicts what can be seen. Following this trend, painters from the Impressionist group, including Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Alfred Sisley, appeared, and they used the Impressionist technique of juxtaposing brushstrokes to create new landscape paintings, such as scenes of the suburbs of Paris and everyday streets. Monet was influenced by the depictions of clouds and seas painted by his teacher, Eugène Boudin.
Additionally, the Neo-Impressionist painter Paul Signac played a role in promoting and popularizing Georges Seurat's Pointillism, but he also further refined the Impressionist technique of arranged brushstrokes. Henri Matisse, Albert Marquet and André Derain created paintings that simplified forms and arranged colors with a unique sensibility, each of which developed beyond Post-Impressionism in their own way. This exhibition will feature 10 paintings and one print that will show the evolution of landscape paintings by artists who stayed in various places in northern and southern France, as well as Switzerland.
