Our Inspiration:The Artist’s Garden at Saint-Clair
Henri-Edmond Cross (Henri-Edmond Delacroix)
(French, 1856–1910)
Watercolor, 10 1/2 x 14 1/8 in., 1904–5
Harris Brisbane Dick Fund, 1948 48.10.7
The art of Henri-Edmond Cross belongs to the later years of Neo-Impressionism. It was not until he moved to Saint-Clair, a small hamlet on the Côte d’Azur near Saint-Tropez, that he turned to pure landscape painting in oil and watercolor, using a vivid palette of saturated colors. On the Mediterranean coast, Cross relaxed the rigorous optical arrangements of the Divisionist technique in favor of a painting style using long, blocky brush marks in decorative, mosaic-like patterns. Cross painted many radiant watercolors of his semitropical garden in Saint-Clair.
