Quai au Sable, Charteves, 1904. Creator: Leon Augustin Lhermitte (French, 1844-1925)
Quai au Sable, Charteves, 1904. Lhermitte began making pastels in 1885, the year of the first exhibition of the Societe des Pastellistes de France. He rapidly assumed an important position within the group, and his frequent contributions to their exhibitions were regularly praised. Pastels such as this one combine two different ways of handling the medium: a vigorous approach suitable for a sketch--as in the sky--and a precisely rendered style--as in the view of the autumnal trees and the village across the Marne River. His luminescent, atmospheric effects owe a debt to Impressionism

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Quai au Sable, Charteves, 1904" showcases the artistic brilliance of Leon Augustin Lhermitte. A renowned French artist from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Lhermitte was highly regarded for his mastery of pastels. In this particular piece, Lhermitte expertly combines two distinct techniques to create a harmonious composition. The sky is rendered with bold strokes that exude energy and spontaneity, resembling a quick sketch. On the other hand, the view of autumnal trees and the village across the Marne River is meticulously detailed with precision. Lhermitte's skillful handling of pastels allows him to achieve luminescent and atmospheric effects reminiscent of Impressionism. The play of light on water and foliage creates a sense of tranquility while capturing the essence of nature's beauty. The Quai au Sable in Charteves serves as both subject matter and inspiration for this artwork. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in its serene ambiance and appreciate its rustic charm. As an esteemed member of Societe des Pastellistes de France, Lhermitte consistently impressed audiences with his contributions to their exhibitions. His ability to evoke emotion through delicate yet powerful strokes earned him accolades within artistic circles. This remarkable print preserves not only Lhermitte's legacy but also offers us a glimpse into turn-of-the-century France through his unique perspective on artistry and landscape
