Henri Rivière (1864 - 1951):
A student of Bin, he learned the different techniques of engraving, notably intaglio, and produced etchings from 1884. In Paris, he was one of the most active artists at the Chat Noir cabaret. A defender of Japanese art, he began wood engraving. From then on, he combined an off-center layout, flat colors and synthetic silhouettes in his works. Henri Rivière is especially famous for his color representations of the landscapes of Brittany, which he exhibited in 1892 at the Société des peintres-graveurs. His prints, whether lithographs or woodcuts, express the harsh Breton nature and its austere customs, detailing the variations of light and climate with great poetry. The Fairy Tale of the Hours, Breton Landscapes and Beautiful Country of Brittany are among his most famous series. His work was exhibited in 1985 at the Musée d'Orsay, Paris.
