Catalogue d'exposition Henri-Edmond Cross et le néo-impressionnisme, de Seurat à Matisse

Exhibition catalogue « Henri Edmond Cross et le néo-impressionnisme. De Seurat à Matisse » museum Matisse, Palais Fénelon, Le Cateau-Cambrésis (11 march - 10 june 2012)

The exhibition traces the evolution of the work of Henri Edmond Cross (1856-1910) in the context of work by other members of the Neo-Impressionist movement, highlighting Cross’s network of friends, influences and followers from his Paris years with Seurat, Signac and the other ‘Neos’, to the last 20 years of his life (1892-1910), when he settled in Saint-Clair, near his friend Signac in Saint-Tropez – the rallying point for a new generation of artists, where Matisse and the future Fauves discovered and experimented with the principles of ‘divisionism’. The exhibition gathers some one hundred oil paintings and watercolours from private collections and museums worldwide (Germany, Belgium, Japan, the USA…), including pivotal works in the history of Neo-impressionism, never before seen in public.
