Lot Essay

Albert Dubois-Pillet began to paint in the 1870s and, after being rejected by the Salon in the early 1880s, he helped form the artists' group, Les Indépendents in 1884, to provide an alternative venue for the exhibition of his work. Felix Féneón reviewed one of these exhibitons: "....M. Dubois-Pillet présente dix tableaux et nous en connaissons quelques autres. Sa vision un peu blonde confère à l'huile une poudroyante et veloutée délicatesse de pastel. Une clarté diffuse, ambrée, lucide, vivifie ces paysages aux spécieuses colorations firmamentales, aux lointains qui s'immatérialisent" (Art Moderne, 1st May 1887).
