Georges STEIN (pseudonym of Séverin Louis Stein), 1864 / 1917 (French, of Luxembourgish origin) An urban landscape painter, watercolorist, draftsman, and illustrator, he is best known and recognized for his works depicting Paris and its streets, boulevards, and squares during the Belle Epoque. He was a student of Jules Lefebvre and Gustave Boulanger. Influenced by Jean Béraud, he worked in particular on the treatment of light to convey the hustle and bustle of Parisian life: his works are imbued with spontaneity, dynamism, and movement, giving viewers the sensation of participating in the scenes observed and the activities offered to the urban public of the Belle Epoque. He also painted views of London, Melun, Vichy, and Switzerland, where he spent his last years, including Geneva, Lausanne, and Bern. He was a member of the Société des Artistes Français and exhibited at the Salon from 1912 to 1914. He also created large decorative panels, including a series of works adorning the casino in the city of Vichy. Museums: Paris, Melun.
