Sunday Feature on ART of Architecture -Gautam Shah

Edvard Weie (1879-1943) was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. He is now regarded as one of the most important colorists of the Danish modernism. He was also inspired by the works of great historical painters. He began with a naturalistic manner, but soon embraced the modernist approach, with emphasis on colours of warm palette and play between light and shadow. He initially worked with ‘subject matter from mythological and literary sources while also working with figure compositions springing entirely from his own imagination’.

Weie was strongly influenced by the visit to Italy and Paris, where he came into contact with French impressionists such as, Cézanne. After returning to Denmark in 1912, he spent a period on the small island of Christiansø near Bornholm. He was one of the earliest participants in the Bornholm school of painters. These artists, each developed an individualistic style, full of experimentation.

Eugène Galien-Laloue (1854-1941) was an Impressionist French painter. He painted bustling and cheerful urban life of Paris, on its boulevards, against the famous landmarks and in many seasons and illumination conditions. He was born in the era, when urban life was intensely enjoyable in the Paris city. The city was now illuminated with gas and electric lighting, stretching the day into late evening. It was a time, when affordable and easy means of public transportation, such as horse-drawn carriages, trolley cars, and buses became available.

Eugène Galien-Laloue first studied under his set designer father, Charles-Laloue. In 1877, made his debut at the Salon des Artistes Français. He learnt art through several other jobs. He worked for most of his life in Montmartre. He worked with several pseudonyms.
