Yvonne Canu

Yvonne Canu was a French painter and neo-impressionist who used pointillism and divisionism in her work. She studied at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and the Académie de la Grand Chaumiere.

Yvonne Canu's paintings were mainly landscapes and still lifes. Her works displayed a meticulous attention to detail and an emphasis on capturing the effects of light and colour. Using pointillism, she achieved a luminous quality in her paintings, with colours optically blending into one another when viewed from a distance.
