MAXIMILIEN LUCE. Morning, Interior

Morning, Interior. Artist: Maximilien Luce (French, Paris 1858-1941 Paris). Dimensions: 25 1/2 x 31 7/8 in. (64.8 x 81 cm). Date: 1890.
This intimate scene depicts Luce's close friend and fellow painter Gustave Perrot "getting up" and dressing as morning light streams through a garret window. Luce enlivened the traditional subject of an artist in his humble living quarters with a vivid palette of red, orange, yellow, and blue, applied in stippled brushstrokes, in keeping with the newly minted technique of Pointillism. Little is known about Perrot, aside from the fact that he died young. In 1892, his brief career was remembered in a fifteen-work tribute held at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris.
