Fernand Lantoine
Fernand Lantoine is a French painter and draughtsman, often associated with the Belgian School.
Without adhering to all the artistic innovations of his time, he constantly developed his painting technique.
This evolution is related to the deep need for renewal in European societies, highly civilised and industrialised but scarred by the horrors of war.
A close friend of Paul Signac, he moved from the neo-impressionist movement with divided brushstrokes and bright, almost fauvist tones, to a symbolist inspiration close to Henri Martin, before opting for a style marked by the pre-eminence of line and structure over colour.
