And although he hung out with Nabi-influenced painters like Édouard Vuillard and Félix Vallotton, it's a bit of a stretch to pin on him the Nabi label, a Gauguinesque style that was deliberately primitive, with flattened, simplified forms and intense colors. In this, his first show in the United States, he is revealed as a graceful but not particularly inventive painter, whose best work was done in the early phases of his career. His largest and most impressive canvas is a softly sunlit close-up of a wrought-iron park gate with a long allée behind it (1893).( from a NYT review) Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
