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.
Patrice Marchal is a contemporary French artist. Born in Abidjan, he then spent his childhood in Morocco. This look accustomed to wide open spaces, vast blue skies and distant horizons, the artist will transport them to France and transpose them into other landscapes, in the tradition of the painters of the Barbizon School. Self-taught painter, Patrice Marchal paints freely, opening up to everything and marveling at the beauty of the nature that surrounds us!
