“landscape With A Pond” Jules Edmond Cuisinier (1857 - 1917)

CUISINIER, Jules ,EDMOND Alenya, Pyrénées-Orientales, 1857-1947 Cuisinier practices two different expressions at the same time. He engraves hallucinatory and bizarre etchings in the baroque tradition of Hieronymus Bosch, Goya or James Ensor, and on the other hand paints landscapes and river banks in the spirit of Corot of Ville-d'Avray and certain painters of the Barbizon school. But Cuisinier's two styles are not foreign to each other and complement each other. His concern to go beyond appearances pushes him to blur volumes, to drown them in mist, or sometimes to forcefully specify the contours in the sun, which gives his landscapes a strange appearance.
