Henri Edmond Cross - Before The Storm, The Bather [c.1907-08], originally uploaded by Gandalf's Gallery.
Henri Edmond Cross Douai, May 20, 1856 – Saint-Clair, May 16, 1910) was a French pointillist painter. His early works, portraits and still lifes, were in the dark colours of realism, but after meeting with Claude Monet in 1883, he painted in the brighter colours of Impressionism. He began his Pointillist period after spending time with Paul Signac in 1904. His later works are Fauvist, perhaps influenced by his acquaintance with Henri Matisse.
