Henri Charles Manguin - Walk in Saint Tropez [1905]


Henri Charles Manguin (Paris, March 23, 1874 – Saint Tropez, September 25, 1949) was a French painter. Manguin was very much influenced by impressionism as is seen in his use of bright pastel hues. He married in 1899 and made numerous portraits of his wife, Jeanne, and their family. In 1902, Manguin had his first exhibition at the Salon des Independants and d'Automne. Many of his paintings were of Mediterranean landscapes; these represented the height of his career as a Fauve artist.
