Henri-Edmond Cross French (Couai, 1856 - 1910, Saint Clair) View objects by this artist.

Born in Douai
died in Saint Clair
Henri-Edmond Coss began an apprenticeship in Lille that he continued in Paris. In 1884 he co-founded the Society of independent artists. At this time, his work still paid tribute to the style of Edouard Manet and the impressionists. He put aside these influences in 1891 and adopted, through his contact with Seurat and Signac, the divisionist technique. He moved then to the Midi, where landscapes inspired by the region of the Var became his preferred subject. By means of
pure colour he was able to give free reign to his taste for lyricism and harmony.
