55. Henri Lebasque was a French post-impressionist painter. He was born at Champigné (Maine-et-Loire). His
work is represented in French museums, notably Angers, Geneva (Petit Palais), Lille (Musée des Beaux-Arts),
Nantes, and Paris (Musée d’Orsay).
He started his education at the École régionale des beaux-arts d'Angers, and moved to Paris in 1886.
There, Lebasque started studying under Léon Bonnat, and assisted Ferdinand Humbert with the decorative
murals at the Panthéon. Around this time, Lebasque met Camille Pissarro and Auguste Renoir, who later
would have a large impact on his work.
Lebasque's vision was coloured by his contact with younger painters, especially Édouard Vuillard and Pierre
Bonnard, founders of Les Nabis, a group of Intimist painters that first favoured the calm and quietude of
domestic subject matter. From his first acquaintance with Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, Lebasque learnt
the significance of a colour theory which stressed the use of complementary colours in shading.
Lebasque was a founding member of the Salon d'Automne in 1903 with his friend Henri Matisse and
exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants. Two years later, a group of artists exhibited there including
Georges Rouault, André Derain, Henri Ottmann, Édouard Vuillard, and Matisse. Lebasque also became
friends with artists such as Raoul Dufy, Louis Valtat, and Henri Manguin, the last of whom introduced
Lebasque to the South of France.
His time in South of France would lead to a radical transformation in Lebasque’s paintings, changing his
colour palette forever. Other travels included the Vendée, Normandy, and Brittany.
Lebasque had some commercial success during his lifetime. He worked on the decorations at the theatre of
the Champs-Elysées and of the Transatlantique sealiner.
Lebasque died at Cannet, Alpes Maritimes in 1937.
