Felix Bracquemond - Etching after Fragonard

[madamemorisot]

Félix Bracquemond was twentysix years old at the time, darkly bearded, a stocky man with honest, wideset eyes. He was a complex personality: he could be arrogant, dogmatic, fiery, yet extremely charming. He was also multi -talented and became a central figure in the Parisian art scene. From his youth, when he was an assistant to a professional lithographer, he developed into a firstrate draughtsman, a talent he put to use as both a print-maker and a ceramist. While Berthe and Edma were still at school he had worked alongside Charles Méryon, a brilliant but much undervalued etcher, who was trying to resurrect this neglected art form. Bracquemond's interest in etchings grew into an ambition to exploit the market with fine prints (belles épreuves) and he was to be co-founder of the Society of Etchers. Later his career took a different direction when he became artistic director of the Haviland Porcelain Works. But at this time — the late 1850s — he lived by taking small commissions, such as the frontispieces of books. He decorated some works of the novelist Champfleury, and through him came to know a number of the pro-Realist critics and writers in Paris. At this time his friends included the Goncourt brothers, Gavarni, Alphonse Legros, Millet, Corot and Edouard Manet, as well as Fantin-Latour, who remained a close friend all his life through whom  he would shortly meet Edgar Degas .Although he was a working artist, Bracquemond still found time to visit the Louvre. He shared with Fantin (who was three years his junior) a love of Delacroix, Courbet and the seventeenth-century Spanish and Dutch masters. But he was one of the first artists in France to be seduced by oriental art. From the moment in 1856 when he came across some Hokusai rejects in Delátre's bookshop in the rue Saint-Jacques, he was inspired by the fine draughtsmanship and unusual composition of Japanese prints and woodcuts. He admired the landscape design and colour of Hokusai and Hiroshige, and the realism of earlier masters like Utamaro, whose prints of everyday life were “mirrors of the passing world”. Suggestiveness, the lack of irrelevant detail, the fresh combination of colour, eve appeal — all these qualities anticipated the future direction of French art: Impressionism.

Japonisme grew in popularity after 1862 with the opening of a specialist business in the rue de Rivoli. Bracquemond, Fantin and their friends, Whistler, Manet, Degas, Stevens and James Tissot, became voluble exponents of the compositional techniques of oriental art. With certain literary critics — Baudelaire, Zacharie Astruc, Philippe Burty, Emile Zola and the Goncourts - they were patrons of the shop known paradoxically as La Porte Chinoise. Berthe caught hints of this new exotica. She learned about the artistic implications in the course of the 1860s, noting that “only Manet and the Japanese can indicate a mouth, eyes, a nose with a single stroke of the brush, so concisely that the rest of the face models itself. However, similar remarks were to be made of her work, suggesting that she too had these eclectic tendencies

I finally finished the Tree of Death from Charles Baudelaire's Les Fleurs de mal. The original piece was done in 1858 by an artist named Felix Bracquemond!

I did the best I could do with repainting this wonderful piece! It's now up for grabs as a one of a kind. I'm considering painting the other version Felix had made. But for now you can have a wonderful deadly tree. All hand painted, and hand sewn sides. There is a small doodle on the back of what I originally wanted to do, that's the only take away here, a solid piece none the less.
