Henri Baptiste Lebasque (1865 - 1937) France
Henri Baptiste Lebasque (1865 - 1937) Watercolor and pencil on paper, signed lower right, measures 5 x 7 inches and 9.5 x 11.5 inches. Born in France at Champigne, Henri Lebasque became known as a painter who spread "joy and light" and for works that were intimate in subject matter and pleasing in color and form. He was in Paris in 1885, when he was age 20, and there he studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts and with Léon Bonnat, focusing on portrait painting. Soon he was exhibiting at the Paris Salons and art society exhibitions. He also assisted Ferdinand Humbert with murals at the Pantheon. Of special influence on him were his peers, many whom were revolutionary young painters such as ´Edouard Vuillard and Pierre Bonnard and who were part of Les Nabis, a group of student artists who banded together at the Académie Julian and asserted that art was personal expression and not something done by outside prescription. Another group that influenced Lebasque were the "Intimists", which also included Vuillard and Bonnard
